“There was an interesting study published last year showing that obesity causes epigenetic changes and decreases activation of genes involved in learning and memory in humans. Obese men had sperm DNA that is different from sperm DNA in lean men in 300 genes and many are in the brain affecting learning/memory.”

“The trials indicated that the two compounds reduced serum amyloid-beta protein levels and had nominally significant effects on verbal fluency and working memory. Follow-up studies have been halted due to manufacturing difficulties with PTB-1 and likely insufficient positive data for PTB-2.”

“Over 15% of the human encoding genome is regulated by the sleep-wake cycle! Everything from metabolism, the immune system, and brain function depend on sleep. You don't want to miss this video interview, loaded with extra, helpful annotations.”

“According to animal research, even mild vitamin C deficiency may impact fetal hippocampal development, a part of the brain crucial for learning and memory. From the article: > "Even marginal vitamin C deficiency in the mother stunts the fetal hippocampus, the important memory centre, by 10-15 per cent, preventing the brain from optimal development," says Professor Jens Lykkesfeldt.”

“Furthermore, ketogenesis is a perennial favorite topic of the FoundMyFitness podcast. Aspects have been covered in many episodes, including: Dr. Eric Verdin on cyclical ketogenic diet and memory benefits. Dr. Mark Mattson on metabolic switching.”

“However, the finding does not mean that starting HRT around ages 65 to 70 would lead to better cognitive outcomes. Estrogen can cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to estrogen receptors in several brain regions, including the hippocampus, which plays an important role in memory.”

“The participants who engaged in exercise showed improvements in memory and experienced lower levels of perceived stress, but only if they exercised for four weeks including the final day of testing. Participants who engaged in a single bout of exercise showed no changes in memory performance and demonstrated higher perceived stress levels.”

“##Alterations in the gut microbiome drive recurrent obesity "This post-dieting microbiome stored a metabolic memory of past obesity that predisposed the mice to an exaggerated weight regain the next time they were exposed to an obesogenic diet."”

“A 90-minute yoga class once a week for 10 weeks reduced paranoid thoughts, memory problems, trouble concentrating, and obsessive thoughts in prison inmates. Other studies have shown that yoga leads to significant improvements in concentration sustained attention and memory and improved ability to control thoughts.”
