Memory Loss

Meaning

Memory loss, or amnesia, represents a clinical impairment in the ability to encode, store, or retrieve previously learned information, a phenomenon frequently linked to underlying neuroendocrine dysregulation. Optimal cognitive function relies heavily on stable levels of thyroid hormones and sex steroids, which influence synaptic plasticity within hippocampal structures. Persistent memory deficits warrant investigation into systemic hormonal status.
