The microstructure of white matter – the fatty network of neuronal fibers that transfer information between regions of gray matter – has been found to change with hormonal shifts, including puberty, oral contraception use, gender-affirming hormone therapy, and post-menopausal estrogen therapy.
To address the menstruation gap in our understanding, the team took MRI scans of their subjects during three menstrual phases: menses, ovulation, and mid-luteal. At the time of each of these scans, the researchers also measured the participants' hormone levels.
The results showed that, as hormones fluctuate, gray and white matter volumes change too, as does the volume of cerebrospinal fluid.
In particular, just before ovulation, when the hormones 17β-estradiol and luteinizing hormone rise, the brains of the participants showed white matter changes suggesting faster information transfer.
Follicle-stimulating hormone, which rises before ovulation, and helps stimulate the ovary follicles, was associated with thicker gray matter.
Progesterone, which decreases after ovulation, was associated with increased tissue and decreased cerebrospinal fluid volume.
What this means for the person driving the brain is unknown, but the research lays the groundwork for future studies, and perhaps understanding the causes of unusual but severe period-related mental health problems.

I’d say you have to learn things the hard way! ;/
Hen pecked?
I love my wife and daughters. I will, and have, sacrificed more than you can imagine for them. I say that because someone with a simple mind like yourself cannot imagine much.
So, go worship your charlatan lord somewhere else. He is easy to find…just do to the nearest courtroom, he is bound to be there soon.
Yeppers.
Oh, since you seem to put so much faith in the law business, go read what Christ, my Lord and Savior had to say about those in the law business.. Matthew 23.. see you maybe are cheering for devils..
Well, we have to deal with the system we have. The courts are not using scripture as evidence.
Does not change what Christ forewarned would be. The devil is running the system. Thus I do not cheer them on unlike you. Now you have the last word.
You rant. You froth at the mouth. And I am the psycho.
Trump is screwed. You will have a felon running for President. Congratulations.
You quote scripture at me. Yet, you back a man with the moral compass of an alley cat.
And you call me a psycho?
And certainly, you meant henpecked in the kindest way. You call yourself a Christian and you insult someone’s relationship with his wife. My guess is that you’ve never been in a successful long term relationship. So, that just rolls off your tongue.
If you were catholic, I would suggest you go to confession. Instead, I recommend you put down the drink and ask God for forgiveness.
And then apologize.
Lol! Rush was the best.
