    Higher Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels in men correlate with poorer visuospatial skills, while lower FSH is linked to better performance. Hormonal influences on cognitive function show sex differences.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroendocrinology
    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • Hormonal fluctuations can influence cognitive abilities.
    • Understanding the relationship between reproductive hormones and cognitive function is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), testosterone, and cognitive functions (visuospatial and verbal/sequential skills) in young adult men and women.
    • To explore potential sex differences in these hormonal-cognitive relationships.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed cognitive performance in visuospatial and verbal/sequential tasks across two sessions.
    • Measured serum levels of FSH, LH, and testosterone in male participants.
    • Examined hormonal correlations with cognitive test scores using regression analyses.

  • Explored similar relationships in female participants, considering estradiol and progesterone.

    • Main Results:

    • In men, FSH showed a negative correlation with visuospatial function, while LH and testosterone had mixed correlations with visuospatial and verbal skills.
    • Multiple regression indicated that FSH, LH, and testosterone accounted for significant variance in visuospatial performance in men (29-39%).
    • In women, FSH was negatively correlated with one visuospatial test and positively with word fluency, similar to men but less pronounced.

    Conclusions:

    • FSH levels significantly impact visuospatial abilities in young adult men.
    • Hormonal profiles, particularly FSH, play a role in sex differences observed in visuospatial and verbal fluency.
    • Further research is needed to clarify complex hormonal-cognitive interactions in women.
