Demystifying The Female Brain

Sarah Mckay

Understanding how your brain works during the key stages of life is essential to maintaining your health. Dr Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist who knows everything worth knowing about women's brains and shares it in this cutting-edge essential book.

This is not a book about the differences between male and female brains nor a book using neuroscience to explain gender-specific behaviours the 'battle of the sexes' or 'Mars-Venus' stereotypes. This is a book about what happens to the brains of women as they cycle through the phases of life which are unique to females by virtue of their biology and in particular their hormones.

In Demystifying The Female Brain Dr McKay gives insights into brain development during infancy childhood and the teenage years (including the onset of puberty) and looks at pregnancy motherhood and mental health.

The book weaves together findings from the research lab interviews with neuroscientists and other researchers working in the disciplines of neuroendocrinology brain development brain health and ageing along with stories and case studies.
