The boundary where there is a reversal from decreasing temperature to increasing temperature is called the tropopause. It marks the boundary between the troposphere (where temperature generally decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere (where temperature generally increases with altitude). The stratopause, mesopause, and minipause are all other boundaries in the atmosphere but they do not mark a reversal in temperature. "Menopause" is not a term related to meteorology or the atmosphere.
