Listen "Sex Hormones Shape Your Brain"
Episode Synopsis
Research highlights the significant influence of sex hormones on various neurological conditions. A comprehensive review in Brain Medicine explores how these hormones impact brain health, affecting disorders like stroke, epilepsy and Alzheimer's. Professor Schipper's analysis reveals that hormonal fluctuations can alter disease progression and treatment responses. The study suggests that understanding these mechanisms may pave the way for sex-specific and hormone-aware therapies. The article emphasizes the importance of considering hormonal factors in neurological evaluations and treatments. The review also appears in a special issue of Brain Medicine that honours Dr. Seymour Reichlin, a neuroendocrinology pioneer.Ref: https://scitechdaily.com/new-research-reveals-how-sex-hormones-quietly-reshape-the-brain-and-influence-neurological-disease/
