Sex differences in the adult human brain: Evidence from 5,216 UK Biobank participants (2017, background): “A fuller understanding of morphological and functional differences between the brains of the human sexes might provide insight into why the observed prevalence of some psychiatric disorders differs substantially by sex (Rutter et al. 2003), and would assist in explaining several behavioral sex diffe”

(2008, background): “This understanding is relevant to both (a) advancing theories about the etiology of different disorders (Rutter et al. 2003) , and (b) identifying and developing different treatments (Brizendine 2006, Cahill 2005 ).”
