Abstract:Reductions in the ability to encode and retrieve past experiences in rich spatial contextual detail (episodic memory) are apparent by midlife – a time when most females experience spontaneous (natural) menopause. Yet, little is known about how menopause status and chronological aging influence the functional brain networks associated with episodic memory. Female-specific investigations of memory-related brain function at midlife are thus warranted to advance our knowledge of how menopause and chronological agi… Show more
