HSE Researchers Show How Congenital Motor Disorders Affect Brain Development
Researchers from HSE University’s Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience have synthesised the findings of their previous studies on brain development in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and arthrogryposis. Their analysis shows that impaired motor function in early childhood not only limits children’s motor experience but also affects memory, categorical thinking, and information processing. The study has been published in Frontiers in Psychology.

Window into the Body: Scientists Develop Neural Network to Detect Risk of 15 Diseases from Retinal Images
Russian universities, with the participation of HSE University, Sber, and Z-union, have developed a neural network that can simultaneously assess the risk of 15 types of pathology from retinal photographs, including not only eye diseases but also cardiovascular conditions. The AI system can help clinicians detect potentially concerning changes at an early stage, identify signs reflecting the condition of retinal blood vessels, and determine whether a patient may need further examination. The paper has been published in Frontiers in Medicine.

'We Did Not Limit the Time for Questions'
The International Laboratory for Supercomputer Atomistic Modelling and Multi-Scale Analysis at HSE University held a major conference on molecular dynamics. Participants had the opportunity to attend all the presentations, while speakers were given as much time as they needed to answer questions. The HSE News Service interviewed Grigory Smirnov, Head of the Laboratory, and Genri Norman, Chief Research Fellow, about the conference preparations and the discussions it generated.

Women, Gender, and Technosciences, 1900–2020. A Beard to Govern

Routledge, 2025.
Under the general editorship: G. Dufaud, I. Lémonon‑Waxin

This innovative volume analyzes the historical entanglement of gender, technosciences, and government/governance.

Situated at the crossroad of women and gender studies, science and technology studies, and political sociology, this volume shows the ever‑accumulating gendered mechanisms that have determined the careers of scientific women and their access to power positions. It underlines on different scales—from the lab to international organizations or states—how the masculine culture of technoscientific practices has assigned women to subaltern institutional positions, while social practices of legitimization and recognition ended up granting some women access to leadership positions outside of institutions. With a broad geographic, political, and disciplinary scope, the contributors draw on a variety of new sources including interviews, private collections, and archives to examine the institutions, structures, and policies that shaped the technosciences, as well as the individuals who developed practices and environments that gained agency for themselves and their contemporaries.

This book will be of interest to students and scholars alike interested in women and gender studies, political studies, STS, history, and sociology of science and technology.

Пространство науки трактуется как многомерное ...
