Exciting Article....But Wait, Not Really

I was excited when I read the headline of this article but it quickly curdled as I read the story which, much to my aggravation, does not contain any details except for this one:

For instance, during the midfollicular phase, which comes four to eight days after menstrual bleeding starts, the orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala of the brain were more active.

As someone who's depression meds take a sudden nose dive a week before the period starts, I was hoping for more information about how exactly each phase of the cycle impacts the female brain.
