“…Therefore, this may account for the inactivation of the precentral gyrus. Further, consistent with our results, Dubol et al (2020a) reviewed the neuroimaging evidence for PMDD (the most severe form of PMS) and found that the hypoactivity of the PFC (i.e., MC) is associated with the severity of PMDD, suggesting a reduced cognitive control over the negative stimulation in women with premenstrual disorders. However, the reason for this deficiency is not clear.…”

“…At least to some extent, the neural substrate needs the cyclic ovarian hormones fluctuation to undergo this brain reorganization, as evidenced by animal 12,84 and human research 13,14,85 . Therefore, results on healthy naturally cycling women may have further implications for those menstrual cycle-related disorders where this pattern of brain coupling dynamics has been suggested to be impaired, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), PMDD or dysmenorrhoea 19,86 . Moreover, some factors in other neurological and psychiatric disorders, where the triple model network is impaired 26 , have been previously related to hormonal levels, like the incidence of epileptic seizures 87 addiction patterns and drug sensitivity 88 , as well as the sensitivity and risk to develop affective disorders 89,90 , Alzheimer's disease 91 or Schizophrenia 92,93 .…”

Spectral dynamic causal modelling in healthy women reveals brain connectivity changes along the menstrual cycle

Longitudinal menstrual cycle studies allow to investigate the effects of ovarian hormones on brain organization. Here, we use spectral dynamic causal modelling (spDCM) in a triple network model to assess effective connectivity changes along the menstrual cycle within and between the default mode, salience and executive control networks (DMN, SN, and ECN). Sixty healthy young women were scanned three times along their menstrual cycle, during early follicular, pre-ovulatory and mid-luteal phase. Related to estradiol, right before ovulation the left insula recruits the ECN, while the right middle frontal gyrus decreases its connectivity to the precuneus and the DMN decouples into anterior/posterior parts. Related to progesterone during the mid-luteal phase, the insulae (SN) engage to each other, while decreasing their connectivity to parietal ECN, which in turn engages the posterior DMN. When including the most confident connections in a leave-one out cross-validation, we find an above-chance prediction of the left-out subjects’ cycle phase. These findings corroborate the plasticity of the female brain in response to acute hormone fluctuations and may help to further understand the neuroendocrine interactions underlying cognitive changes along the menstrual cycle.

“…This condition can take on clinical relevance in the form of PMS or even grow to a dysphoric clinical picture as in the case of PMDD 16,17 . A number of studies have investigated the role of sex hormones in PMS/PMDD, but no abnormal levels have been established 61,62 although with inconsistency 63 . At moment, the hypothesis with the stronger consensus claims a maladaptive response of the brain regions involved in affective processes to the physiological fluctuations of the sex hormones 64 .…”

The menstrual cycle is known to influence the behaviour. The neuronal bases of this phenomenon are poorly understood. We hypothesized that hormones, might affect the large-scale organization of the brain functional networks and that, in turn, such changes might have behavioural correlates in terms of the affective state. To test our hypothesis, we took advantage of magnetoencephalography to investigate brain topology in early follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases, in twenty-four naturally-cycling women without signs of anxiety and/or depression. We show that in the alpha band the betweenness centrality (BC) of the right posterior cingulate gyrus (PCG) during the ovulatory phase is increased and the rise is predicted by the levels of estradiol. We also demonstrate that the increase in the BC is related to improved subjective well-being that, in turn, is correlated to the estradiol levels. The increased topological centrality of the PCG during the ovulatory phase could have implications in reproductive psychology.
