Abstract

The female reproductive years are characterized by fluctuations in ovarian hormones across the menstrual cycle, which have the potential to modulate neurophysiological and behavioral dynamics. Menstrually-related mood disorders (MRMDs) comprise cognitive-affective or somatic symptoms that are thought to be triggered by the rapid fluctuations in ovarian hormones in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. MRMDs include premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and premenstrual exacerbation (PME) of other psychiatric disorders. Electroencephalography (EEG) non-invasively records in vivo synchronous activity from populations of neurons with high temporal resolution. The present overview sought to systematically review the current state of task-related and resting-state EEG investigations on MRMDs. Preliminary evidence indicates lower alpha asymmetry at rest being associated with MRMDs, while one study points to the effect being luteal-phase specific. Moreover, higher luteal spontaneous frontal brain activity (slow/fast wave ratio as measured by the delta/beta power ratio) has been observed in persons with MRMDs, while sleep architecture results point to potential circadian rhythm disturbances. In this review, we discuss the quality of study designs as well as future perspectives and challenges of supplementing the diagnostic and scientific toolbox for MRMDs with EEG.

月经相关情绪障碍的脑电图检查结果：批判性评论

女性生育期的特点是整个月经周期中卵巢激素的波动，这种波动有可能调节神经生理和行为动态。月经相关情绪障碍（MRMDs）包括认知-情感或躯体症状，这些症状被认为是由月经周期黄体期卵巢激素的快速波动引发的。MRMD包括经前期综合征（PMS）、经前期情感障碍（PMDD）和其他精神疾病的经前期加重（PME）。脑电图（EEG）能以高时间分辨率无创记录神经元群的体内同步活动。本综述旨在系统回顾有关 MRMDs 的任务相关脑电图和静息态脑电图研究现状。初步证据表明，静息状态下较低的α不对称与 MRMDs 有关，而一项研究则指出这种效应具有黄体期特异性。此外，在 MRMD 患者中还观察到较高的黄体期自发额叶脑活动（以 delta/beta 功率比衡量的慢波/快波比率），而睡眠结构结果表明可能存在昼夜节律紊乱。在这篇综述中，我们将讨论研究设计的质量以及通过脑电图补充 MRMD 诊断和科学工具箱的未来前景和挑战。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology (FIN) publishes a wide range of informative articles including comprehensive reviews, systematic reviews, opinion pieces, and meta-analyses. While the majority of reviews are invited, we also embrace unsolicited reviews and meta-analyses, as well as proposals for thematic special issues, provided they meet our rigorous quality standards. In addition, we encourage authors to submit commentaries that concisely present fresh ideas or offer further analysis to delve deeper into the implications of an article published in our journal.
