Menopause

…the role of the cerebellum in aging, menopause and age-related neurodegenerative disease, primarily using neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation. The associate will develop new neuroimaging tasks from existing laboratory work, collect longitudinal behavioural, neuroimaging and brain-stimulation data from community-based participants, analyse large neuroimaging and time-series datasets, lead papers with a focus on longitudinal analysis of cerebellar measures, contribute to progress

…mechanisms of sleep disturbance during menopause. The session considers vasomotor symptoms, declining estrogen and progesterone, altered melatonin secretion and changes in circadian timing, alongside mood, anxiety and psychosocial contributors.
