Why do some women get brain fog during menopause and some don't? What is happening to the brain's physiology during this hormonal transition? To investigate this, this study will involve multiple testing sessions over a 6 month period; once a week for the first month, then once a month after that (9 sessions total). Each session will involve a 45-minute MRI scan, questionnaires (e.g., about your level of brain fog) and (monthly) cognitive tests. We're looking for women going through perimenopause with and without recent experience of brain fog. Participants will be reimbursed £20 a session for their time via bank transfer, up to a total of £180 for all sessions.
