Summary

This study looks at how natural changes in the female hormone estradiol affect the spinal cord's ability to adapt and change (called neuroplasticity). Researchers will use mild electrical stimulation to test spinal reflexes in 50 healthy young adults. No drugs or treatments are given—the goal is simply to learn more about how hormones influence the nervous system.
