Also here, a group of scientists norman spack of bostons Childrens Hospital, Catherine Dulac of harvard university, Melissa Hines of the university of cambridge, and janet hyde of the university of wisconsin at madison. Im pleased to have all of them here and to begin this conversation with my colleague eric kandel. What are we going to talk about . Eric we will talk about gender identity and the biology of the brain. This is a marvelous topic and i like it particularly because it shows how Brain Science can be liberating in our life. As we understand the biology of our own gender identity better and become more comfortable with ourselves to become more empathic to somebody elses gender identity, we can understand it at age 9, 10, a person says i am in the wrong body.

And human babies are pretty much totallyless, and even throughout their juvenile period they really need much more investment by their parents than similar species that are closely related to us. And i think that tells us in humans, particularly, understanding the role of parenting behavior and the biology of parenting behavior is very important.
