Memory Problems

Measuring differences in brain chemicals in people with mild memory problems. Using strong and targeted but noninvasive magnets at specific sites in the brains of people with and without mild learning and memory problems, researchers report they were able to detect differences in the concentrations of brain chemicals that transmit messages between neurons. The strength of these magnetic fields allows the researchers to measure tiny amounts and compare multiple brain metabolite levels at the same time. These studies may ultimately help to reveal what initiates memory decline and may, perhaps, even predict dementia risk. Source 4b.

Problems Memory

I usually experience a lot of situations when I get memory loss and cannot recall what I was trying to say or do at all. I hope that doesn't mean I have a higher risk of dementia due to the imbalance of certain chemicals.
