“Moreover, IF, intermittent exercise and intellectual stimulation increase neurotrophic factors, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, essential for learning and memory and plays a role in appetite).”

“Controlled studies have examined whether people with low dietary creatine respond differently. Six weeks of 5 grams per day improved selected memory and reasoning measures in 45 vegetarian young adults, and a short 20-gram loading protocol improved some memory outcomes in vegetarians.”

“Ketone esters are exogenous ketone bodies that may promote ketosis in humans. Animal models demonstrate that ketone esters exert beneficial effects in Alzheimer's disease, effectively reducing amyloid accumulation, neurofibrillary tangles, and tau, while improving learning and memory.”

“A preliminary study shows atrophy in olfactory brain regions and areas responsible for learning and memory, after COVID-19 illness, even in those with mild cases. Converging evidence suggests that the long-term impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection are unknown.”

“The loss of blood-brain barrier integrity is a feature of normal aging and typically begins in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is crucial for memory (in particular, the consolidation of short-term memories to long-term memories), learning, and spatial navigation.”

“For example, daily oral administration of berberine at 20, 50, or 80 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg/bw) prevented damage to dopaminergic neurons and improved short-term memory in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease.”

“They also measured biomarkers related to cell death and inflammation. They found that the APOE4-carrying mice given a regular diet exhibited memory deficits and difficulty adjusting to new smells and distinguishing between different objects.”

“Participants who consumed as few as 7 units of alcohol per week had higher levels of iron in the brain's putamen and caudate (in the basal ganglia) and in the substantia nigra (in the midbrain), areas involved in learning, memory, reward processing, and movement.”

“Dr. Huberman connects that result with open questions about memory consolidation, trauma therapy, and recovery from sleep loss, while keeping those applications as research directions rather than established replacements for sleep.”

“A pooled analysis of three COSMOS cognitive substudies involving 5,203 nonoverlapping participants found modest benefits for global cognition and episodic memory. Investigators estimated that the global-cognition difference corresponded to about two years of age-related change.”
