What is the role of estrogen in brain wellness?

Estrogen has many beneficial effects on the brain. Scientists have been looking at whether decreasing estrogen levels may cause problems with our brain's ability to function at its best. Estrogen has been found to affect the brain in several ways by:Protecting neurons from the stress of aging (loss of blood and oxidative changes)Stimulating nerve cell growth (branching)Stimulating blood flow and increase in the uptake of glucose (the body's sugar) into the brainAffecting patterns of brain activation during intellectual tasksReducing formation of a protein known as beta amyloid associated with Alzheimer's diseaseInfluencing neurotransmitters that, among other things, affect memory and mood (acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and serotonin)Blunting the stress response (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis reactivity).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
