Description
Hongqiang Cai and co-authors study brain connectivity and hormone links in girls with central precocious puberty, in a research paper from 2026. In the condition, puberty starts too early, driven by the brain hormone axis. How the hypothalamus, the axis control center, talks to cortex areas in these girls was unclear, as was the tie to hormone levels.
Fifty-seven girls took part, thirty-seven with the condition and twenty without. Hormone stimulation tests and brain scans were collected for all. The patient group showed higher base and peak hormone levels. Connectivity between a hypothalamic zone and a frontal area ran stronger in patients. Hormone levels tracked with connectivity strength. The work links brain networks to hormone control.
