"Study Finds Women Excel in Cognition During Menstrual Cycle"

The research, published in Neuropsychologia, shows cognitive abilities fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, with faster reaction times and fewer errors during menstruation. These findings could have significant implications for injury prevention and women's health strategies, challenging common perceptions about women's abilities during their menstrual cycle.
