Brain atrophy in old age is a progressive degeneration of the human brain of a predominantly sclerotic (vascular) nature, often in the absence of Alzheimer’s disorders, manifesting itself with a noticeable weakening of memory, characteristic mnestic disturbances already in the first months - years from the onset of the disease. Main manifestations of atrophy
Limited presenile brain atrophy (AM LPA) is a brain disease caused by changes in the structure and function of its cells. It is characterized by a progressive decline in the functions of memory, thinking, speech and other cognitive abilities. This process can be caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, age, brain disease or strokes.
The main symptom of AM OPS is a decreased ability to learn and remember new information. Patients may have difficulty solving complex problems, processing new information, and formulating thoughts. Some patients may also experience changes in personality or behavior.
Diagnosis of AM OPS may include tests of memory, thinking, language and other cognitive abilities, as well as magnetic resonance imaging of the brain to determine the size and structure of the brain. If the diagnosis is confirmed, there is no treatment as such, but treatment may be needed to improve symptoms or prevent further cognitive decline: brain training, the use of medications to slow the progression of the disease, and support from loved ones
