Childhood health through matrescence empowers women to sustain life-course brain health

The spectrum from normal brain functions to neurological and mental health disorders represents the life-course neural exposome. Proactive interventions strengthen rescue and reparative choices. Integration of intersectionality into health policy promotes global equity. Transdisciplinary care by women offers bio-social healthcare advantages for all persons. Reproduction and pregnancy establish foundational brain health during their child’s first 1000 days. Life-course healthcare that includes matrescence is more likely to promote brain health across successive lifespans.
