Live Science reports that the research examined the brain's gray matter, primarily the cerebral cortex, using MRI scans from the UK Biobank and Leiden University datasets. Study co-author Sophie van't Hof noted that a gradual decline in gray matter during adulthood normally occurs as part of aging, but this decline pauses during the menopausal transition.
“There's also a gradual decline in gray matter during adulthood that's seen as a normal part of aging… However, during the transition leading up to menopause, that gradual loss of gray matter levels off temporarily, the study found.”
