“Regular coffee consumption significantly lowers the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's—by about 34–37%. Moderate caffeine intake slows cognitive decline and enhances attention, reaction time, and memory, particularly valuable for individuals at elevated risk for dementia.”

“The study found that people tend to have improved memory recall during inhalation from the nose but also have enhanced ability to recognize fearful faces. This was not true if the inhalation occurred from the mouth.”

“Treatment of neurodegenerative disease Nicotinamide mononucleotide administration has also been shown to improve cognition and memory in mouse and rat models of Alzheimer’s disease.”

“Across three COSMOS cognitive substudies using different testing formats, a pooled analysis found small average advantages for global cognition and episodic memory over two to three years—about 0.07 and 0.06 standard deviations, respectively.”

“People with higher levels of cortisol (a hormone linked to stress) in the blood performed worse on memory and other cognitive tasks and had smaller brain volumes than peers of the same age with average cortisol levels.”

“> "Improvements in this type of memory from exercise might help to explain the previously established link between aerobic exercise and better academic performance," says Jennifer Heisz, an assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster and lead author of the study.”

“Blueberry concentrate (30 ml/daily) for 12 weeks increased brain blood flow, brain activation and some parts of working memory in a small trial of older adults compared to placebo. The blueberry concentrate was equivalent to 230 g of blueberries. One of the compounds present in blueberries called pterostilbene has been shown in rodent studies to improve brain function.”

“It is associated primarily with memory (in particular, the consolidation of short-term memories to long-term memories), learning, and spatial navigation. Data from rodent studies suggest that adherence to a Western dietary pattern impairs hippocampal-dependent learning and memory (HDLM).”

“> “These regions are important for our capacity to detect errors, reflect, and regulate our behaviors, and their thickness changes at different rates. We showed that their unique pattern of change is important for introspection and memory improvements during a period of tremendous learning opportunities,” Ghetti said.”

“Teens with higher systolic blood pressure exhibited poorer overall cognition and slower reaction times than those who were normotensive. Those with increased pulse wave velocity exhibited diminished accuracy in working memory tasks.”
