Brain discovery ‘aids understanding’ of high blood pressure link to dementia

In the future, academics hope that the findings will help predict memory loss and dementia among people with high blood pressure.

Researchers have identified specific regions of the brain that are damaged by high blood pressure and are involved in a decline in mental processes and dementia (PA)

Scientists have identified the regions of the brain that are damaged by high blood pressure and may contribute to the development of dementia.
