Impacts of Sex Hormones on Memory and Aging

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the aging population continues to grow, age-related cognitive decline has become a critical public health issue. Sex hormones influence brain structure and function throughout life, particularly at certain stages of the menstrual cycle, the most notable being menopause in women. These hormonal changes can exacerbate cognitive decline, affecting memory, attention, and executive function, especially after menopause, when cognitive vulnerability increases due to the dramatic decrease in oestrogen. This Topic aims to bring together cutting-edge research that addresses how the aging process and hormonal changes may affect brain structures and connections, cognitive processes such as memory, executive function, and behavior. Understanding the gender-specific nuances of cognitive aging is critical for developing targeted strategies to promote longevity, along with cognitive health, in an increasingly aging world. We encourage researchers to contribute to this topic with experimental studies, clinical trials, case–control studies, cohort studies, etc.
