Abstract in brief

Recent research highlights cognitive challenges during perimenopause, specifically affecting verbal learning and memory, with potential impacts on processing speed, attention, and working memory.
Variables such as depression, sleep disturbances, and vasomotor symptoms are linked to these cognitive issues, and neuroimaging is revealing changes in brain activity that correlate with cognitive performance.
While some small clinical trials have explored interventions for cognitive concerns in perimenopausal women, guidelines currently do not endorse hormone therapy, emphasizing the need for more robust studies to understand risks and treatments.
