The Influence of Menstrual Cycle on Hippocampal Volume and Diffusivity
The Influence of Menstrual Cycle on Hippocampal Volume and Diffusivity
Category:Concussion
- Funding: Dean’s Research Award (Intramural), through spring 2021
- Overview: Approximately 1.7 million concussions, also known as mild traumatic brain injuries, occur annually in the U.S. Several studies have found that females have a higher risk for concussion, more severe symptoms, and a more protracted recovery than males. One potential explanation for these differences may be related to female reproductive hormones. The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary data regarding the influence of female reproductive hormones on imaging biomarkers (Diffusion Tensor Imaging) and neurocognition in concussed females. This study will help us determine the feasibility, sample size and power needed for future studies examining the role of sex hormones in concussed females. The findings from the current study can inform future research on sex differences in patients with concussion and potential targeted therapies for the treatment of concussion.
