A review of the impact of hormone therapy on prefrontal structure and function at menopause

Résumé

The menopause transition arises mainly from a decline in ovarian function characterized by a decrease in levels of ovarian estrogens (estradiol) and progesterone in women. Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has been used to counteract menopause-associated symptoms in postmenopausal women. With the development of advanced brain imaging methods, understanding MHT-related effects on brain structures and functions could help advance our understanding of the biological consequence of MHT-related effects on behavior, thereby contributing to developing new strategies for optimizing brain health during the menopause transition. This review focuses on the human research related to the impact of MHT on structural and functional organization of the prefrontal cortex in postmenopausal women. Although such MHT-related effects on brain structures and functions have only begun to be understood, it may be useful to examine present findings to identify areas for future research.
