MRI helps link silent strokes to memory loss
Research using MRI indicates that small areas of dead brain cells, or silent strokes, found in approximately one of four older adults are linked to memory loss later in life, according to a new study published in the January 3 issue of Neurology.
The group from Columbia University Medical Center says the findings could provide additional information on memory loss symptoms and their causes, as well as help develop new methods of prevention. The study was led by Dr. Sonja Blum, PhD, from Columbia’s Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain (Neurology, January 3, 2012, Vol. 78:1, pp. 38-46).
