There are plenty of studies on the effects of reduced estrogen via natural and surgically-induced menopause, and we can lump ourselves into the larger pie. So, yes... estrogen loss from AIs does effect our cognitive function (it's not your imagination). Here's a good article from the Frontiers of Neuroendocrinology: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091302216300024

Thank you for the link, I had not seen this article. I do not have a scientific background. Most of the article was extremely complicated and I did not read it in great detail. The Conclusion (section 8) does state that although a lot of studies have been done, there is no evidence to date between low estrogen and cognitive change and that more research is needed. Perhaps I am missing something.
