Verbal Fluency Hormones

Meaning

Verbal Fluency Hormones is a conceptual term used in clinical endocrinology and neuroscience to collectively refer to the specific steroid and thyroid hormones that significantly modulate the brain regions responsible for language production, retrieval, and articulation speed. These hormones, primarily estrogens and androgens, exert a direct influence on cortical and subcortical structures involved in lexical access and rapid verbal processing. Clinical deficiencies or imbalances can manifest as subjective ‘word-finding difficulty’ or measurable declines in verbal performance.
