We are recruiting participants for our women’s health and cognition study.
This study explores the relationship between hormone declines with menopause and brain changes contributing to memory impairment in aging females. The overall goal of this research is to gain new insight that may improve women’s health in late life.
Women across all reproductive stages are welcome to participate, though we are especially interested in those who are actively going through menopause.
Study information:
This study involves one hour of MRI, collection of a small and non-invasive saliva sample, a cognitive task, and computerized questionnaires.
The study will take place at Baylor College of Medicine and last roughly 3-3.5 hours. Participants will be compensated $90, parking included.

Eligibility criteria:
– Must be a female age 35 or older
– Must not be taking hormonal supplements or undergoing hormone therapy
– Must be comfortable lying still in the MRI for up to one hour
