Abstract (English):	Background: Despite efforts to achieve equality in education and professionalization, gender biases persist and affect the professional development of women in neuroscience. Objective: To provide an overview of the conditions of equality in the professional and academic environment of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery (INNN) during 2021, aiming to document the extent of inequality between female and male physicians. Method: An observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted. Information on the number and gender of residents, researchers, staff, and administrators at INNN in 2021 was collected. The records of research protocols submitted in 2021 and their outcomes were analyzed. Results: In 2021, there were a total of 320 physicians at INNN (122 women [38.1%] and 198 men [61.9%]). The breakdown by groups was 186 residents (58.2%; 73 women [39.35%] and 113 men [60.75%]), 82 specialists (25.6%; 34 women [41.46%] and 48 men [58.54%]), 12 researchers (3.8%; 6 women [50%] and 6 men [50%]), and 40 administrators (12.5%; 9 women [22.5%] and 31 men [77.5%]). Conclusions: Despite some progress, female physicians continue to face gender gaps. Policy changes towards gender parity in medicine are necessary to create equal opportunities in academic and professional settings, ensuring fair and comprehensive development for women.

Abstract (Spanish):	Antecedentes: A pesar de los esfuerzos por alcanzar la igualdad en el acceso a la educación y la profesionalización, persisten sesgos de género que inciden en el desarrollo profesional de las mujeres en las neurociencias. Objetivo: Presentar un panorama general de las condiciones de igualdad en el ámbito profesional y académico del Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía (INNN) durante 2021, con la finalidad de documentar la magnitud de desigualdad entre médicas y médicos. Método: Se realizó un estudio observacional, retrospectivo, transversal y analítico. Se recolectó información sobre el número y el sexo de residentes, investigadores, adscritos y administrativos del INNN en 2021. Se analizó el registro de los protocolos de investigación sometidos en 2021, así como sus productos. Resultados: En 2021, en el INNN hubo un total de 320 médicas y médicos (122 mujeres [38.1%] y 198 hombres [61.9%]). Las proporciones correspondientes por grupo fueron 186 residentes (58.2%; 73 mujeres [39.35%] y 113 hombres [60.75%]), 82 especialistas (25.6%; 34 mujeres [41.46%] y 48 hombres [58.54%]), 12 investigadores (3.8%; 6 mujeres [50%] y 6 hombres [50%]) y 40 administrativos (12.5%; 9 mujeres [22.5%] y 31 hombres [77.5%]). Conclusiones: A pesar de los avances, actualmente las médicas siguen luchando contra las brechas de género. Es necesario un cambio de políticas a favor de la paridad en la medicina, para crear igualdad de oportunidades en los ámbitos académico y profesional, y así garantizar un desarrollo justo e integral de las mujeres.
