In today’s episode I speak with pioneering neuroscientist Dr. Lisa Mosconi. We discuss Dr. Mosconi's groundbreaking new research that sheds light on the intricate relationship between estrogen and the brain. Her work highlights the impact of estrogen on cognitive function and neurological health and opens new avenues for understanding how hormonal changes affect our minds as we age. Don’t miss Dr. Mosconi’s expertise on perimenopause, menopause, Alzheimer's, dementia, and the research and clinical trials she supervises. Join us as we explore her new study and discuss its implications for brain health, particularly for women. Dr Lisa Mosconi is Associate Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology and the director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM)/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
