It is the case that most medical and scientific authorities do agree that age results in subtle changes in a person’s ability to think clearly and quickly, but that does not link memory loss to the menopause. The causes for memory losses at this time are more closely linked to the brain than to the ovaries. The brain will start to shrink after the age of 50, due to a loss of water content. This in itself will not necessarily impair memory, but a loss of volume in the frontal lobes can quite possibly. Many women will report a increase on forgetfulness, memory loss and mental clarity during the perimenopause. This is due to the fluctuation of hormones.
