Converging preclinical and human evidence indicates that the decline in ovarian estradiol
production during the menopausal transition may play a mechanistic role in the neuronal …

Studies in both rodents and humans have made much progress in shedding light on how
fluctuations in ovarian hormones can affect memory in women across the lifespan …

These fluctuations span from early development, to cyclic changes associated with the …

Ovarian hormones, particularly 17β-estradiol, are involved in numerous neurophysiological
and neurochemical processes, including those subserving cognitive function. Estradiol plays …

Over the last quarter century, a staggering number of brain imaging studies have probed the
neural basis of age-related cognitive decline. Using multimodal brain imaging tools, we now …

Objective To review the relation in midlife and beyond between estrogen exposures and
episodic memory in women. Background Episodic memory performance declines with usual …

Stress may promote emotional and cognitive disturbances, which differ by sex. Adverse
outcomes, including memory disturbances, are typically observed following chronic stress …

Although hormones such as glucocorticoids have been broadly accepted in recent decades
as general neuromodulators of memory processes, sex steroid hormones such as the potent …
