Exposure to Common Infections Linked to Brain Function Decline

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.

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.
