“Impairing the animals' sleep or blocking the activity of the neurons that were activated during the response uncoupled the visual cue from the negative experience, but the animals still exhibited fear, suggesting that when sleep was disrupted after an event that caused fear, the fear may not be linked to the event but instead may manifest as general anxiety.”

“This is not the first study to link the gut to Parkinson's disease. Other studies have found that cells located in the intestine spark an immune response that protects nerve cells and neurons against damage connected with Parkinson's disease.”

“This study was done in mice and found that mice that were exposed to stress had a decrease in long-term potentiation in the hippocampus. Long-term potentiation is the process that helps solidify the connections between neurons during memory formation.”

“Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to the loss of dopamine-producing neurons which leads to loss of motor control. There have been a number of studies published that have shown that people with Parkinson’s disease who exercise can improve their balance and gait compared to those that do not.”

“Creatine and phosphocreatine (PCr) are critical in rapidly replenishing ATP in neurons, particularly during high cognitive demand or metabolic stress like sleep deprivation, aging, and intense cognitive tasks.”

“[...] The highest concentration of vitamin C is found in the neurons of the brain and in case of a low intake of vitamin C, the remaining vitamin is retained in the brain to secure this organ.”

“BDNF, or brain-derived neurotrophic factor, is a growth factor that controls and promotes the growth of new neurons and is necessary for the formation and storage of memories and overall cognitive performance.”

“It is not known how resistance training countered the brain atrophy but other studies have found that it increased cerebral blood volume which could result in the growth of new blood vessels and neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons) in the dentate gyrus region of the brain.”

“Neurovascular support Active neurons require a rapid supply of oxygen and glucose. By improving endothelial function and nitric-oxide signaling, blueberry anthocyanins may help small vessels match blood delivery to neural demand.”

“A ketogenic diet – a high-fat, low-carbohydrate dietary pattern – offers potential benefits in various health contexts, including weight management and seizure control. Some evidence suggests that the ketogenic diet is beneficial in preventing or treating neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and dementia.”
