Neuropsychological correlates of menstrual mood changes

M Altemus, BE Wexler and N Boulis
Yale University Department of Psychiatry, Veterans Administration Medical Center, West Haven, Connecticut.

The authors compared responses to dichotic auditory stimuli presented in the premenstrual and follicular phases of the menstrual cycle and three months of prospective mood self-ratings. Women who reported more dysphoria premenstrually had a lower right ear advantage for language-related stimuli. They also heard fewer positive words in the premenstrual compared to the follicular phase of their cycles.
