“This study supports existing evidence that alcohol can contribute to cerebral volume loss in areas crucial for memory processing and visuospatial function, while heavy alcohol use can lead to the loss of neurons in the hypothalamus, cerebellum, hippocampus, and amygdala.”

“Imaging studies conducted at one month of age revealed that infants whose mothers had higher omega-3 intakes exhibited larger volumes in the frontal cortex and corpus callosum, areas of the brain involved in consciousness, communication, memory, attention, and integration of motor, sensory, and cognitive function between the brain's hemispheres.”

“Fragmented REM sleep may decrease the amygdala’s ability to process emotional memories overnight which may lead to more bad emotions and insomnia the next day, creating a cycle of bad feelings and insomnia.”

“Benefits have not reliably extended to processing speed, recognition memory, visuospatial learning, working memory, or cerebral blood flow. Observational cohorts Across large prospective cohorts, higher blueberry, berry, or anthocyanin intake is generally associated with slower cognitive decline and lower dementia risk over time.”

“Continuous rocking during a 45-minute nap helped people to fall asleep faster, sleep more soundly, and also increased memory consolidation during sleep. The rocking was shown to increase deep sleep which decreases with age and is associated with Alzheimer's disease.”

“FTA: > Neuroscientists have shown that calorie-reduced diets stop the normal rise and fall in activity levels of close to 900 different genes linked to aging and memory formation in the brain.”

“Approximately 70 percent of all dementia cases are related to Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes.”

“In animal models, deletion of the SIRT1 gene impairs cognitive functions such as short and long-term associative memory, as well as spatial learning. Furthermore, in rodent models of Alzheimer's disease, SIRT1 activation with resveratrol or via genetic overexpression reduces amyloid plaque formation and consequently delays neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.”

“A later 29-person study using 0.2 grams per kilogram found its clearest benefit in reasoning, with mixed results for memory, accuracy, fatigue, and sleepiness. These studies help clarify creatine's role in brain energy under acute stress, while 3 to 5 grams remains the best-established routine dose for exercise benefits.”

“FTA: > Dietary cocoa flavanols -- naturally occurring bioactives found in cocoa -- reversed age-related memory decline in healthy older adults, according to a new study. Flavanols are also found naturally in tea leaves and in certain fruits and vegetables.”
