Estrogen and MemoryEstrogen and Memory
UAB researchers want to see if estrogen can prevent memory loss in post-menopausal women since memory loss during aging is often associated with dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. "Earlier research has suggested that estrogen may play a role in improving brain function and could help improve memory in older women," says Edward Zamrini, M.D., assistant professor of neurology in UAB's Memory Disorders Clinic. UAB plans to enroll 50 women in the Women's Memory Loss Prevention study. Zamrini hopes research can lead to ways to prevent memory loss and other cognitive problems in older women.
