[DETAILED RESEARCH OF THE ONTOGENETIC CHANGES IN EEG PARAMETERS MEN AND WOMEN DURING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERIOD]
Abstract:
The changes of 272 EEG parameters in 252 women and 97 men during the period of life of 16 to 45 years in increments of one month were investigated. Correlation analysis and approximations were used. Ontogenetic regression of amplitude and power amplitude and power of alpha, theta, delta, but not beta rhythms predominantly in the right posterior cortex leads in women was more regressive than in men was shown. Overall ontogenetic tendency to fall to the nonlinear amplitude and power of EEG rhythms with age is reproduced in both sexes. Frequency of rhythms in the course of ontogeny, as a rule, was the compensatory increase. So, in neurologically healthy men and women differently achieved the same goal--adaptive response of the brain to age conversion.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...
