Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The interruption of blood flow to the brain is often referred to as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a mini-stroke. It is a warning sign that the person is at risk of having a more serious stroke in the future. Preventative measures will need to be taken to lower that risk. Presbycusis is a gradual hearing loss as a result of aging, amyloid is a protein that builds up in the brain and is associated with Alzheimer's disease, and circadian rhythm refers to the internal biological clock that regulates sleep-wake cycles. These are not relevant to the situation described in the question.
