Thank you @washingtonpost & @meeri_kim for your article discussing our recent research findings! I am overwhelmingly grateful to be a part of research that sheds light on a massively understudied topic (the lives of everyone who menstruates; ~50% of the human population).
A woman’s menstrual cycle is driven by the ebb and flow of hormones that prepare the body for pregnancy. This symphony of hormones not only transforms the reproductive organs, but, according to recent research, also reshapes the brain.
