the findings on your MRI do not indicate the reason for your memory loss and memory is stored in hippocampus of temporal lobe and cortex. however, the small lesions do indicate that there could be small infarcts and you need to evaluate for risk factors for thrombotic and embolic stroke like hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol problems, high homocysteine, heart clots etc. For your memory loss I suggest checking serum B12, TSH, HIV, and VDRL and treat for the same. early alzhiemer s must be considered if all negative and treatment taken for the same.
