Abstract

Ovarian removal via bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy (BSO) prior to spontaneous menopause (SM) is related to increased Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk (Rocca et al., 2007). Associative learning deficits are considered the earliest AD symptoms, heralding preclinical AD (Fowler et al., 2002). Performance and brain activation during a face‐name associative memory task differ based on reproductive stage and are linked to fluctuating levels of 17β‐estradiol (E2; Rentz et al., 2017). We hypothesized that BSO would affect memory and functional brain activity during associative encoding.
