“However, under conditions of low hydrogen sulfide levels, GSK3-beta is disproportionately attracted to tau, promoting hyperphosphorylation and tau tangle formation. These findings suggest that strategies to improve hydrogen sulfide status in the brain show promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Link to study abstract.”

“These findings suggest that dietary intake of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids during childhood reduces the risk of developing asthma among children who carry a genetic variant of an enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis. The authors of the study cautioned that their study was observational and did not identify any causes to explain the relationship. Link to study abstract.”

“These findings suggest that inhibition of immune-related processes that promote inflammation restores immune cell energy production and slows cognitive decline in mice. Learn more about the role of inflammation in cognitive decline in this episode featuring Dr. Dale Bredesen. Link to study abstract.”

“Those who took curcumin performed better on the vertical jump over time, but the placebo group saw decrements in the performance of this test. These findings suggest that curcumin reduces soreness and helps maintain muscular power following plyometric exercise. Link to study abstract.”

“The children who were exposed to caffeine also exhibited worse outcomes in terms of psychopathology, but their cognitive function was unaffected. These findings suggest that caffeine exposure during pregnancy leads to neurodevelopmental problems due to microstructural alterations in the brain. Link to study abstract.”

“The research of sleep expert Dr. Matthew Walker focuses on identifying certain windows of vulnerability during a person's life when interventions might improve sleep quality to prevent or delay age-related cognitive decline. Learn more in this clip. Link to study abstract.”

“These findings demonstrate that sulforaphane shows promise as an anti-aging compound via its capacity to reduce oxidative stress. Learn more about sulforaphane in this Q&A featuring Dr. Jed Fahey. Link to study abstract.”

“Women who lived in areas with high levels of particulate air pollution had lower brain volumes, but these effects were attenuated with higher intake of omega-3 fatty acids and non-fried fish. These findings suggest that omega-3 fatty acids confer protection against potential neurotoxic effects of air pollution on white matter volumes. Link to study abstract.”

“Sulforaphane also reduced reactive oxygen species production and helped maintain mitochondrial membrane integrity. These findings suggest that sulforaphane protects the brain via inhibition of the NF-kB pathway and subsequent inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Link to study abstract.”

“The authors concluded that slower rates of brain atrophy, along with diet and lifestyle factors and low heart disease risk among the Tsimane protect brain health despite high levels of chronic inflammation caused by infection.”
