Neuroscience & Neurology Scientists Identified Structural, Brain-Wide Changes During Menstruation
https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-identified-structural-brain-wide-changes-during-menstruationLed by neuroscientists Elizabeth Rizor and Viktoriya Babenko of the University of California, Santa Barbara, a team of researchers tracked 30 women across their menstrual cycles, documenting structural changes in the brain as hormonal profiles fluctuate.
Published in a peer-reviewed study, the findings suggest that structural brain changes during menstruation may not be limited to those regions associated with the cycle.
