Menopause brain fog: a clue to future Alzheimer's?

NCT ID NCT04129060

Summary

This study aimed to understand why some women experience memory and thinking changes after menopause and how this might be linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease later in life. Researchers studied 120 healthy postmenopausal women, using brain scans and memory tests to see how their brains responded to a temporary, safe reduction in a key brain chemical. The goal was to identify early signs that could predict which women might be at greater risk for future cognitive decline.
