Prolonged stress can cause memory loss.

US researchers have discovered that there is a relationship between prolonged stress and memory loss.

The study results showed that those who were repeatedly exposed to stress had a problem with spatial memory. In addition, long-term stress can lead to social avoidance - which measures the depressive behavior continued after four weeks of monitoring. In addition, researchers found measurable changes in the brain - including evidence of inflammation caused by the immune system response to pressure was brought by the unrelenting stress.

Stress may include repeated, mental assault long term - such as being sustained by intimidation of victims, soldiers and informing the bestial heads, researchers said.

The study - conducted in mice - repeat visits to a bigger and nastier intruder mouse caused stress. 

Those mice that were continuously exposed to aggressive intruder had a hard time remembering where the escape hole was in a maze that had dominated before the period of stress is.

"The stressed mice did not remember. The mice that were not stressed, they actually remembered," said lead researcher Jonathan Godbout, an associate professor at Ohio State University in the United States.


The analysis sought to uncover the secrets behind the problems of stress and mood with a long-term goal of finding ways to help those who are anxious, depressed and suffer from problems of life - including the disorder, post-traumatic stress - the researchers concluded in the study published in the Journal of Neuroscience.
