How Menstrual Cycle Hormone Fluctuations Affect Brain Network Dynamics
Hormonal Effects on Brain Dynamics
Recent research from Pompeu Fabra University used fMRI technology to demonstrate how menstrual cycle hormones impact brain function. Notably, estrogen and progesterone were found to alter network dynamics throughout the cycle.
Findings and Implications
- The study observed the highest brain complexity during specific phases of the menstrual cycle.
- These findings suggest that hormonal changes not only affect mood but also cognitive functions.
As awareness of these effects grows, important discussions surrounding women's health and hormonal influences on mental well-being must be prioritized.
