“Psychedelic drugs primarily act on serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, altering perception, mood, and cognition. These changes in brain activity and connectivity may promote neuroplasticity, potentially benefiting overall cognitive function and mental health.”

“However, a meta-analysis involving more than 5,000 participants from the COSMOS-Clinic, COSMOS-Mind, and COSMOS-Web studies demonstrated that multivitamin/mineral supplementation markedly improved overall cognition and episodic memory.”

“Evidence suggests it is a reliable biomarker of sudden cardiac death risk and may provide a means of standardizing methodologies used in clinical trials, facilitating more accurate interpretation of clinical trial outcomes.”

“Researchers collected information from more than 600 older adults regarding their age, sex, education, use of beta-blockers (drugs that lower heart rate), and APOE4 gene status (a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's).”

“Verbal fluency relies on several cognitive skills, including recalling word meanings, finding the right words quickly, processing information efficiently, controlling impulses, holding and using information in the moment, switching between tasks or ideas, and adapting to new situations.”

“A 2021 study found that people with moderate choline intake—about the amount in two to three eggs or a serving of salmon—were half as likely to experience cognitive decline than those with low intake.”

“The present correlation between CTSB and verbal learning and memory suggests that CTSB may be useful as a marker for cognitive changes relevant to hippocampal function after exercise in a population at risk for dementia.[...]”

“Iron-chelating nutrients include polyphenolic compounds, such as gallic acid and catechins (in tea), caffeic acid (in coffee), quercetin (in apples and onions), ellagic acid (in walnuts and pomegranates), curcumin (in turmeric) and others.”

“Researchers divided the participants into two groups based on their performance on neuropsychological tests: "SuperAgers" (those whose cognitive function was comparable to that of young adults) and those whose cognitive function was typical for their ages.”

“Mitigation of oxidative stress as a mechanism of increased BDNF: > It has been shown that TBI can result in cumulative ROS, which may be associated with reduction of BDNF. Thus, DHA may help to counteract elevated levels of ROS with subsequent effects on the action of BDNF on synaptic plasticity and cognition after TBI.”
