Menopause, long considered primarily a reproductive milestone, is now gaining recognition for its profound neurological implications. As researchers delve into the intricate workings of the menopause-brain connection, a clearer picture emerges, challenging the traditional view of menopause as merely a cessation of reproductive functions. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Weill Cornell Women’s Brain Initiative and author of the upcoming book “The Menopause Brain,” has been at the forefront of this exploration.
One of the primary challenges Mosconi and her contemporaries faced was the scarcity of studies examining menopause’s impact on the brain. Those that did exist predominantly focused on older women who had long passed through menopause. This gap in research prompted Mosconi and others to delve deeper, recognizing the need to understand menopause not just as a product but as a dynamic neurological process.
