Brain bioenergetics, cognitive activity, and menopausal vasomotor symptoms

Abstract

The relationship between menopausal changes in brain bioenergetics, cognitive activity, and vasomotor symptoms (VMS) will be detailed. VMS were effectively stimulated in symptomatic women through cognitive activity. Activation of the anterior cingulate nucleus and corpus callosum was noted during VMS with functional MRI. Implications will be discussed.
