It's now clear that, during menopause, women's brains undergo significant changes. Research shows that, for some, the volume of the brain's grey and white matter decreases, and around 70 per cent of women experience neurological symptoms.
But world-renowned neuroscientist Dr Lisa Mosconi says that, with the right treatment and support, women can manage this 'renovation project' and emerge from this period with renewed and enhanced brains rather than depleted ones.

Some researchers argue that we need to look to other solutions and one model used more frequently overseas is co-operative housing.
Some 22 per cent of housing in Sweden follows this model, but in Australia it constitutes less than one per cent of housing. This form of social housing enables tenants to enjoy long-term housing at affordable rents. But tenants must agree to be involved in the running and upkeep of the property, which can be a source of tension when not everyone pulls their weight.

Most have been relatively minor, but the American Federal Aviation Authority ordered inspections on 737 MAX 9 planes after a door plug blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight; and a recent flight between Sydney and Auckland saw dozens injured after the plane dropped unexpectedly.
