Brain Wind-Down Temporary, Find Researchers

Women in menopause know that their brains are a little less.... quick on the pick up. But luckily, researchers have found that such cognitive slow down is temporary. In a new study published in Neurology, women ages 42-52 were tested on their ability to process information quickly. In addition to finding that menopause did indeed slow down cognitive processing, researchers found this mental slow motion to be but a temporary side effect of the hormonal changes associated with menopause. More magazine did a great article on brain health and menopause if you need additional information, but its certainly helpful to know that these symptoms will pass!
