Hypogonadism Cognition

Meaning

Hypogonadism Cognition describes the clinically observed cognitive impairments, often reversible, that are associated with a state of reduced or absent gonadal function and subsequent deficiency in sex hormones, specifically testosterone and estrogen. These cognitive deficits frequently include reduced spatial memory, impaired executive function, and diminished verbal fluency. The term highlights the critical neuro-modulatory role of sex hormones on brain function and the necessity of hormonal balance for optimal mental acuity and cognitive longevity.
