A study by UTMB's Rebecca Alyea and Cheryl Watson about women's susceptibility to some neurological diseases is cited in this article. Women experience significant estrogen level changes at various life stages such as adolescence, menopause and as a result of monthly cycles. The scientists said women are also most likely to experience the onset or exacerbations of some neurological diseases at those times. The study was originally published in the journal BMC Neuroscience.
