We are preparing the third #WWNnewsletter for 2026! In this edition titled, Role of Hormones in Brain Health, we explore the important role that hormones play in shaping brain health and wellbeing. From cognition and mood to sleep and resilience, hormonal changes can have profound effects on the brain throughout life. We invite contributions that examine the neuroscience of hormonal influences, with particular attention to perimenopause and menopause, emerging research, lived experiences, and strategies for supporting brain health during these transitions. While we encourage a focus on these topics, all perspectives related to hormones and brain health are welcome.
Theme-related contributions in the form of artwork, short essays/information pieces about the theme, personal experiences, a description of research you are doing in this area, etc. are welcome. Please keep these contributions to 300 words or less. Kindly submit contributions via this link.
As always, general contributions (not theme-related) are welcome:
– Recent accomplishments (papers, grants, talks, graduation, promotions)
– Upcoming events or activities in your institution or organization that you would like to share with the WWN community
– Opportunities you would like publicized (jobs, grant funding opportunities, travel fund opportunities, etc).
– Interesting scientific articles (e.g., a recent article you read and found interesting)
– A quote for the month
– Anything in addition to what is mentioned above that you find relevant to the field of neuroscience (ideally theme-related)
The deadline for all submissions is 16 July 2026. We look forward to your contributions. Thank you for your time and effort.
