A Spotlight on Women’s Brain Health: Mapping In Vivo Brain Dynamics across the Perimenopausal Years.
Most women will transition to menopause, but no two experiences are the same. While some women embrace the end of their reproductive years, many others struggle with the broad system level changes that first emerge during perimenopause; the years leading up to the final menstrual period. Up to 80% of women will experience debilitating symptoms during perimenopause which are largely neurological in nature, including vasomotor symptoms (i.e., hot flashes and night sweats), as well as mood, sleep, and cognitive disturbances.
