The brain age gap (BAG) -- the difference between chronological and neuroimaging-based predicted brain age -- has emerged as a sensitive biomarker of brain health. A higher BAG, reflecting an older-appearing brain, has been linked to cognitive decline, neurodegenerative disease, and mental disorders. Whether such apparent aging can be mitigated by targeted interventions remains unclear. Oestradiol (E2), a sex hormone fluctuating across the menstrual cycle and known for its neuromodulatory and co...
