This is a book about what happens inside the brains and bodies of women as they move through the phases of life, and the unique - and often misunderstood - effects of female biology and hormones.Dr McKay give insights into brain development during infancy, childhood and the teenage years (including the onset of puberty) and also takes a look at mental health as well as the ageing brain. The book weaves together findings from the research lab, case studies and interviews with neuroscientists and other researchers working in the disciplines of neuroendocrinology, brain development, brain health and ageing.This comprehensive guide explores the brain during significant life stages, including:In uteroChildhoodPubertyThe Menstrual CycleThe Teenage BrainDepression and AnxietyPregnancy and MotherhoodMenopauseThe Ageing Brain Trade Paperback.
