New Study Finds 'Silent Strokes' Linked to Memory Loss in Elderly.

New research in the journal Neurology suggests that in some cases, memory loss among the elderly may be due to so-called "silent strokes,".

Such strokes, which may not cause any noticeable symptoms, result in small pockets of dead brain cells, and are found in roughly 25 percent of older adults, researchers reported.

Study authors are excited with their findings, citing that the new aspect of this study of memory loss in the elderly is that it examines silent strokes and [brain] shrinkage simultaneously. Their conclusions are based on studies of over 650 men and women over the age of 65, none of whom had a history of dementia.

All the participants underwent MRI brain scans, as well as testing to gauge their capacities in terms of memory, language skills, thinking speed and visual perception.

The brain scans revealed that 174 of the participants had experienced silent strokes, and the investigators found that these seniors did not perform as well on the memory exams. This finding held regardless of whether the part of the patient's brain responsible for memory (the hippocampus) was found to be relatively small or not.

The author of the study believe that since conditions like Alzheimer's disease are defined mainly by memory problems, their results may lead to further insight into what causes symptoms and the development of new interventions for prevention. So, suspicion is that these events may be precursors to Alzheimer’s.

And as their was association between the silent strokes and volume of the hippocampus with apparent relation to memory loss separately, they feel that preventing stroke should also stave off memory problem development.
