The award funds research to study the effects of menopause on female brain aging using mouse models, focusing on aging trajectories, cognitive decline, and microglia phenotypes to inform personalized medicine for women.
Description
This project aims to characterize aging trajectories, determine impacts on brain and cognitive aging, and evaluate microglia phenotypes in physiological mouse models of menopause to understand how menopause influences sex disparities in aging and guide interventions to mitigate menopause-related health issues.
