Listen nowBreast milk is a complex and highly dynamic fluid that contains both nutritional and non-nutritional components. Some of these components provide breast milk aroma and taste aspects, such as those associated with garlic or coffee, potentially influencing the breastfed infant's dietary preferences later in life (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30982867/). Findings from a new study suggest that the non-nutritional compound piperine transfers into breast milk, providing pungent flavor aspects. Piperine is a bioactive compound found in black pepper that exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-pain, and an... nutrition breast milk
Read moreDepression is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Although many factors contribute to a person's risk for developing depression, such as childhood trauma or stressful life events, genetic predisposition for the condition plays a prominent role (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6065213/). Findings from a recent study suggest that air pollution exerts harmful neuropsychiatric effects, especially among people genetically predisposed to depression. Air pollution contains myriad toxic substances, including chemicals, gases, and particulate mat... depression pollution

Watch nowOmega-3 fatty acids ameliorate olfactory losses. The sellar and parasellar regions of the brain comprise a complex anatomical area located near the pituitary gland. Tumors in these regions often require resection using endoscopic nasal procedures, which are often associated with concomitant olfactory function losses. In some patients these losses persist long after the procedure and are sometimes permanent. Findings from a new study suggest that omega-3 fatty acids ameliorate olfactory losses associated with endoscopic nasal procedures. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that play e... omega-3 covid-19
Read moreAlcohol dependence is a complex disorder that increases a person's risk of death from all causes (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4634361/). Findings from a 2009 study suggest that variations in certain genes can impact the likelihood of relapsing following treatment. BDNF is involved in neuronal growth and survival, as well as influencing neurotransmitters – chemical signals from the nervous system. Low BDNF levels have been linked to the development of depression, anxiety, and alcohol dependence (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1530-0277.2007.00507.x). Previou... brain alcohol genetics addiction bdnf

This finding suggests that cytokines impaired recall by disrupting the function of these specific neuron circuits in the hippocampus. >“The cytokines caused the neural network to react as if no learning had taken place,” said Guzowski, associate professor of neurobiology & behavior. “The neural circuit activity was back to the pattern s... brain inflammation memory neurons
