“Evidence suggests that lactate mediates some of the benefits of exercise on learning and memory via inducing neuronal BDNF expression. Learn more about the lactate shuttle and its effects on the brain in this episode featuring Dr. George Brooks.”

“The assessments revealed that the participants who received olfactory enrichment demonstrated a 226 percent improvement on learning and memory tests. Notably, only six of the 12 participants improved, five stayed the same, and one did worse, calling the data into question.”

“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.”

“First, they assessed the animals' neuroprotective and antioxidant marker levels and subjected them to various memory and behavioral tests. They found that exercise reduced memory problems and cognitive losses by increasing the expression of irisin.”

“Tip-of-the-tongue states occur when the meaning of a word is available in our memory, but the sound form of the word can temporarily not be accessed. Higher VO2max is also associated with improved blood flow to the brain, which may play a role in some of the long-term brain benefits.”

“The study involved 90 healthy participants between the ages of 40 and 65. Using smartphones, participants reported their physical activity five times daily and completed brief cognitive tasks to measure mental speed and memory.”

“##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."”

“The study found that genes in skeletal muscle have less DNA epigenetic modifications in response to exercise and throughout periods of inactivity (ie. injury). This allows the muscle to grow even bigger following exercise again later.”

“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.”
