Later menopause and greater cortical thickness (IMAGE)
Caption
Brain scans highlighting areas (in red and green) where women who started menopause at an older age tended to have a thicker outer layer of the brain, known as the cortex. The graph displays this relationship for one region of the brain, the left middle occipital gyrus, where later menopause was associated with greater cortical thickness.
