. . BRAIN: HUMAN: BRAIN FUNCTION : MEDICAL: DISEASES : RESEARCH: Exposure to Common Infections Linked to Brain Function Decline . . Exposure to Common Infections Linked to Brain Function Decline Friday 14 February 2014 - 3am PST Catharine Paddock PhD Medical News Today (MNT) http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/272648.php . .Exposure to common infections - even if they do not make you ill - may be linked to decline in brain functions like memory and reasoning, according to new research presented at a conference recently. However, the researchers caution more work needs to be done to confirm their findings.
.Lead researcher Dr. Clinton Wright, scientific director of the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute at the University of Miami, presented the study at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2014, in San Diego, CA.
.He conducted the study with colleagues from Columbia University in New York, NY.
.They were interested in further exploring the findings of studies such as that reported in 2013 in the journal Stroke, which found brain function may decline as heart disease risk factors increase. Other studies have also found links between certain infections and increased risk of stroke and Alzheimer's disease.
. snip .The results showed links between antibody levels caused by exposure to common infections and worsening cognitive performance in functions like memory, planning and reasoning ability, speed of mental processing and abstract thinking.
