This Is What Happens in Your Brain During a Hot Flash

Описание к видео This Is What Happens in Your Brain During a Hot Flash

Hot flashes hit your body with an immediate sense of warmth. They can range from mild to severe, last anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, and can pop on rare occasions or recur repeatedly for years. This unexpected warm feeling stems from lower levels of estrogen, which fire off neurons in the hypothalamus that control temperature regulation.
