Menstrual cycle modulates the effect of BDNF Val66Met variant on category learning.

Biology of sex differences - 1 Mar 2026

Perović Mateja, Hou Jianqi, Mack Michael L

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Both brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and ovarian hormones are powerful neuromodulators, yet evidence of their impact on human cognition remains mixed. As prior work has studied them in isolation, examining their interacting effects presents a key empirical opportunity for explicating their effects on cognition. METHODS: We genotyped participants for the BDNF Val66Met single nucleotide...
