          Your Brain on Birth Control

          Oral contraceptive use is associated with blunted stress response and brain activity differences during working memory tasks in women who started using birth control during puberty. Early adulthood exposure to oral contraceptives was linked to significant structural changes in brain areas associated with memory and emotional processing.

          What women really want: The effect of women’s cycle on preferences for male behavior

          Study tests the good genes ovulation shift hypothesis, which states women's preferences for certain male behaviors differ throughout their ovulation cycle. Researchers found no evidence that a woman's preference changes across the ovulation cycle. However, women tend to perceive men as slightly more attractive when fertile than during other cycle phases.

          High levels of estrogen in the womb linked to autism

          Estrogens were significantly elevated in fetuses that later went on to develop autism. Higher levels of prenatal estrogens were more predictive of ASD than higher levels of prenatal androgens. The study supports a twenty-year-old theory that increased prenatal sex steroid hormones are a potential cause of autism spectrum disorder.
