The program investigates how hormonal transition phases in women (puberty, pregnancy, menopause) affect brain plasticity, cognition, emotions, and mental health. These transitions significantly increase the risk of affective, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. Through twelve coordinated projects, the IRTG will systematically explore the links between sex hormone variation and women’s mental health.
