title: Early visual processing over the menstrual cycle: the tilt aftereffect.
abstract: We have previously shown that the tilt aftereffect (TAE) appears to respond to changes in central dopaminergic function. In this study, the TAE was investigated during the preovulatory and the premenstrual phases of the menstrual cycle. Results in the preovulatory phase mimicked those previously found associated with increased dopaminergic function, compared to data produced in the premenstrual phase, suggesting changes in dopamine function over the cycle.
