Bad memory may raise stroke risk Poor memory and problems with other mental skills may be early signs of an increased risk for stroke, a new study suggests. Even 'silent strokes' can harm memory, thinking People who experience stroke-like symptoms, but do not have full-blown strokes, are at higher risk for memory and thinking problems, a new study finds. Magnetic brain stimulation might aid stroke recovery Magnetic stimulation of the brain appears to help speed recovery of speech and language in stroke survivors, a new study finds. Mental decline often precedes a stroke Research indicates that stroke in old age can be caused by poor cognitive function and faster decline in cognitive function can be caused by stroke. Brain haemorrhage leads to PTSD One-third of people who survive a nearly fatal subarachnoid haemorrhage - a type of stroke that involves bleeding into the brain - experience the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), researchers have found. Poor Mental Functioning May Predict Stroke Men who scored lowest on test also had worst outcomes, study reports Brain scan yields clues to future stroke risk A new study has found that brain scans taken shortly after a mild stroke, or transient ischemic attack, can help to identify patients' risk of suffering another stroke in the next three months. Memory slips tied to stroke risk among highly educated A new study has found that highly educated people who suffer from memory lapses, may be at risk of having a stroke in future. Brain injury may increase stroke risk People who have a traumatic brain injury may be more likely to suffer a stroke, a large new study suggests. Brain injury boosts stroke risk In the three months after a traumatic brain injury, the risk of stroke may increase 10-fold, Taiwanese researchers report. load more
