“Previous research indicates that supplemental prenatal choline improves cognitive ability, attention, and social behavior in children up to seven years of age. A pair of papers published this year explores the effects of prenatal choline supplementation on pregnancy outcomes and neuropsychiatric disease risk in Black Americans.”

“Three weeks after the fecal transplant, mice given the gut bacteria from IBS patients also had higher gut permeability. Distinct bacterial species and metabolites derived from humans correlated with the anxiety behavior in mice.”

“Although scientists have identified other lifestyle behaviors that can help prevent the build-up of amyloid plaques by boosting the capacity for glymphatic clearance – such as exercise and adequate intake of omega-3 – the most important factor by far is a good night's sleep, especially deep sleep.”

“Learn more about Nrf2 in this clip featuring Dr. Jed Fahey. For more information about the cognitive benefits of exercise (as well as other lifestyle behaviors), check out our Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint in the Member Library.”

“A steadier routine could reduce that mismatch and support circadian control of sleep, hormone release, metabolism, and immune function. Routine regularity may therefore act as a broad stabilizing signal across biological timing and behavior.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that more than 40 percent of all Alzheimer's disease and related dementia cases in the United States are attributable to a small number of modifiable lifestyle factors.”

“New research in the field of neuroscience demonstrates that ketamine may help reduce addictive behaviors by interfering with the formation of maladaptive memories – effectively "rewriting" them. Ketamine is a drug used in human and veterinary medicine to promote loss of consciousness.”

“After eight weeks of methyl donor supplementation, this hippocampal damage was reversed, reducing depression and anxiety behavior. Methyl donor supplementation also normalized glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels among rats consuming a high-fructose diet.”

“This finding suggests that cytokines impaired recall by disrupting the function of these specific neuron circuits in the hippocampus. >“The cytokines caused the neural network to react as if no learning had taken place,” said Guzowski, associate professor of neurobiology & behavior.”

“> “These regions are important for our capacity to detect errors, reflect, and regulate our behaviors, and their thickness changes at different rates. We showed that their unique pattern of change is important for introspection and memory improvements during a period of tremendous learning opportunities,” Ghetti said.”
