“They also completed a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests to assess their cognitive function across multiple domains, including processing speed, executive function, working memory, episodic memory, and attention control.”

Tetrahydrocannabinol was previously shown to prevent the build up of amyloid beta plaque (to add some context), which may be the reason for this particular comment from the author towards the tail end of the article: Madison said it would be wildly off the mark to assume that, just because A-beta interferes with a valuable neurophysiological process mediated by endocannabinoids…

“It's almost like they got half the lead exposure, if the dose-response was linear. Similarly, actual memory function was dramatically improved (measured by maze task) relative to non-sulforaphane group... but still lagged control by a little bit.”

“One randomized comparison followed 40 mice receiving daily semaglutide and 39 receiving inactive saline injections until their death. Separate mice underwent three months of treatment before tests of memory, physical abilities and glucose control, alongside cellular studies.”

“A non-invasive treatment of light and sound to increase brain waves known as gamma oscillations led to improvements in cognition and memory and a dramatic reduction in amyloid beta plaques in mice. Interestingly, some forms of meditation also increase gamma waves, particularly in advanced meditators.”

“In muscles, IGF-1 supports repair and growth by increasing receptor density and sensitivity. In the brain, IGF-1 promotes neurogenesis, particularly in memory-critical areas like the hippocampus. Exercise also binds IGF-1 to protective proteins, reducing its availability to precancerous cells.”

“Neither the assigned exercise group nor self-reported exercise intensity predicted better verbal-memory or pattern-separation scores, while higher baseline VO2peak predicted larger cortical volume and better pattern-separation performance across all groups.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Next Question with Katie Couric, she discusses three cognitive substudies that found small average improvements in global cognition and episodic memory.”

“Poor physical fitness as measured by VO2 max linked to deterioration of vital nerve fibers in the brain and memory decline. The study found that lower fitness levels were associated with weaker white matter, which in turn correlated with lower brain function.”

“> People who have obesity and diabetes have higher rates of cognitive impairment as they age and most of the related structural changes are in the hippocampus, a center of learning and memory and Stranahan's focus of study. Fat is a source of inflammation and there is evidence that reducing chronic inflammation in the brain helps prevent obesity-related memory loss.”
