This research paper explores the 3D shape changes in the female brain during menstruation, specifically focusing on the hippocampus. The study uses geodesic regression to analyze these changes, particularly during sex hormone fluctuations. Although this method is computationally expensive, the researchers propose approximation schemes to accelerate the process. The research is significant as it provides insights into the higher risk of neurological diseases in women after menopause. The paper also highlights the need for more research on female brain health in relation to sex hormone fluctuations.
