Influence of menstrual cycle phase on resting-state functional connectivity in naturally cycling, cigarette-dependent women

Conclusions This is the first study to explore menstrual cycle phase differences in rsFC among cigarette-dependent women, and results suggest that FPs show differences in rsFC underlying cognitive control, which could place them at greater risk for continued smoking and relapse. These findings provide new insights toward individualized treatment strategies.
