女性的生殖功能是由大脑、脑垂体和卵巢的复杂相互作用控制的。这些器官中的每一个都产生独特的激素，每种激素作用于其他器官来影响反应。因此，区分哺乳动物生殖衰老的原因和后果是一个“先有鸡还是先有蛋”的难题。令人惊讶的是，最近的证据表明，大脑在生殖衰老的开始和过渡过程中起着更重要的作用。
Female reproductive function is controlled by complex interactions of the brain, pituitary gland and ovary. Each of these organs produces unique hormones, and each hormone acts upon the other organs to affect a response. Differentiating the causes and the consequences of reproductive senescence in mammals is thus a ‘chicken and egg’ puzzle. Surprisingly, recent evidence indicates a more important role for the brain in the initiation and transition to reproductive senescence.
