Menopausal Neuroprotection

Meaning

Menopausal Neuroprotection is a targeted clinical strategy focused on mitigating the accelerated cognitive decline and the increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases often observed in women following the significant decline in ovarian estrogen production during the menopausal transition. This comprehensive approach utilizes targeted hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle interventions to actively safeguard neuronal integrity and cognitive function in the female brain. The core principle is to replace or mimic the powerful, beneficial effects of endogenous sex steroids on brain structure, synaptic plasticity, and connectivity.
