Study of Auditory Reaction Time in Premenstrual Phase and Postmenstrual Phase
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The hormonal changes that occur during premenstrual phase have been implicated as a causative factor for many psychological and physical symptoms. The present study was carried out to determine if there is any alteration of simple auditory reaction time in pre and postmenstrual phase. As reaction time is an indirect index of processing capability of nervous system. In this study auditory reaction time (ART) of 70 female medical students was recorded in pre and postmenstrual phase. The results were compared using paired t test and it showed there is statistically significant increase in ART in premenstrual phase as compared to postmenstrual phase. Thus ovarian hormonal fluctuation across menstrual cycle affects sensorimotor association by modulating neurotransmitter.
