The structure of the female brain changes throughout the menstrual cycle, scientists have found.For the first time, researchers at Germany's Max Planck Society have monitored how the brain changes at different stages of the menstrual cycle, providing a valuable steppingstone for the development of sex-specific strategies to improve brain health and mental well-being.
Both of these hormones have been shown to affect brain activity but previous studies have not observed how their rising and falling levels throughout the month can affect brain structure.In a study published October 5 in the journal Nature Mental Health, Sacher and her team used an MRI scanner to map the structure of specific brain regions in 27 female participants of reproductive age at six different points throughout their menstrual cycle.
