This article reviews evolving and sometimes differing findings, underscoring both the promise of current research and the need for continued study.

There could be a ‘window of opportunity’ to prevent Alzheimer’s in women A pair of new studies point to the role of early menopause and hormone treatment in cognitive decline, but more research is needed, experts say
