“Many described better overall mental well-being, greater psychological flexibility, meaning an improved ability to adapt thoughts and behaviors, and higher self-efficacy, or confidence in following through on goals.”

“Studies have found that people with it maintain their usual mental sharpness longer than those without it when neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's and multiple sclerosis are present. > "It's as if nature is trying to determine the best approach," Cramer said.”

“While previous work indicates that it might offer a safe and effective alternative to traditional drug therapies for some mental health disorders, flawed features of study design have cast doubt on their conclusions.”

“Although the researchers examined multiple brain networks, the association with infant screen time emerged only for the connection between the visual network (involved in processing visual information) and the cognitive control network (involved in things like planning, attention, and self-control).”

“The mast cells release pro­inflammatory cytokines and proteases that damage the gut, leading to intestinal permeability, a condition otherwise known as “leaky gut.” This leakiness allows bacteria and bacterial antigens to cross the gut’s inner layer, the epithelium, and activate even more immune cells, leading to more inflammation – a key driver in the aging process.”

“In this study researchers used a genetically modified mouse with high levels of PGC-1a1 in skeletal muscle that shows many characteristics of well-trained muscles (even without exercising).”

“Psilocybin, the active ingredient in "magic" mushrooms, is gaining attention for its potential to treat depression. Traditional treatments like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been widely used for years, but they carry many risks.”

“The cohorts were followed over a span of 5 to 35 years. The data were adjusted for sociodemographic factors, other physical activity besides running, body fatness, health status, and unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and poor diet.”

“The animals were then randomly allocated to receive either a single dose of psilocybin or a control saline injection, after which the researchers quantified their spine densities on five more occasions (days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 34), blinded to whether the mice had received the active compound or saline.”

“Abnormalities in dopamine signaling are at the heart of this complex mental health disorder, and a recent study suggests that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy influences these pathways, increasing the risk of schizophrenia in offspring.”
