Estrogen effects on the brain.
This article reviews available data on the effects of estrogen on the brain. Such information is derived from basic laboratory studies, inferences from comparisons of gender differences, observational epidemiologic studies, and clinical trials of estrogen in humans. Findings suggest the potentially favorable influences of estrogen on mood and cognition in older women and augment current knowledge about physical risks and benefits of estrogen use.
