In celebration of Hispanic women in neuroscience

With this brief compilation about four brilliant neuroscientists, we wanted to highlight the great contributions of Hispanic women in Neuroscience by recognizing the outstanding work they have done and continue to do in identifying anatomical, molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie normal and pathological processes in the brain. Many Hispanic women in Neuroscience, even very successful investigators, encounter funding difficulties, prejudice, financial, geographical and political challenges. However, they continue to be inspiration for their students, mentees and colleagues. Fil: Salcedo Arellano, María Jimena. University of California; Estados Unidos Fil: Pantoja, Adriana P.
