The Women's Alzheimer's Movement at Cleveland Clinic is pleased to present a video series to help explain what is going on inside the female–or the XX brain—at different stages of life. Change and transition in our bodies can be mysterious and frightening, but certainly less so if we understand what’s happening—and why.

This series answers questions to help every girl and woman embrace and respect the impact of her amazing brain by explaining in simple, accessible terms the power the brain has over her life, why it’s important to protect—and provides tips on how to do so.

Start by understanding what makes an XX brain different from a male XY brain.
