Psychological tests were conducted on menopausal women ovariectomized women and women receiving estrogen replacement therapy. There were no differences in cognitive and attention variables between those subjects receiving estrogens and those who were not. However those not receiving estrogens felt that their memory attention and ability to concentrate was impaired to a greater degree than reported by those receiving therapy. The ovariectomized group showed the greatest d ecline in feeling of…

  • 1998
TLDR
The specificity of the estrogenic effect on cognitive functions is consistent with known sex differences in cognitive abilities and suggests that, in adulthood, estrogen serves to activate neural pathways established under the influence of this steroid hormone during prenatal life.
Clinical Pharmacology and Differential Cognitive Efficacy of Estrogen Preparations
TLDR
Basic clinical pharmacology of various forms of estrogen, neuroendocrinology of the menopause, neurobiology of estradiol and estrone, and results of selected basic science and human intervention studies with relevance to identifying the best form and route of administration of estrogen are discussed.

Estrogenic Effects on Memory in Women a
  • B. Sherwin
  • Psychology
    Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
  • 1994
TLDR
There is no reason to believe that verbal memory is truly impaired in women during phases of the menstrual cycle marked by low levels of estrogen, and there is some preliminary evidence that progesterone may enhance visual-spatial skills in women but this needs to be confirmed.
Estrogen replacement therapy and longitudinal decline in visual memory
TLDR
It is suggested that ERT may protect against memory decline in nondemented postmenopausal women and offer further support for a beneficial role of estrogen on cognitive function in aging women.
