Resumen
En el presente trabajo se exponen las carencias más importantes en la investigación de la denominada “diferencia sexual en el cerebro”. Desde la revisión y análisis crítico del grupo de científicas NeuroGenderings Network se propone una superación de los prejuicios que, de manera obvia o solapada, continúan manteniéndose en la investigación en relación a las diferencias sexuales en el cerebro. La tarea de “guerrilla epistemológica” que este grupo feminista lleva a cabo con el fin de ir conformando un conocimiento rigurosamente científico se podrá ver con el ejemplo concreto de la propuesta que hacen a una revista neurocientífica.
