“> "Cigarette smoking is one of the most compelling environmental risk factors linked to the development and worsening of MS," > Results showed that smokers with MS had a greater breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, had nearly 17 percent more brain lesions -- patches of inflammation in the sheath surrounding the nerve fibers that impair their function -- than nonsmokers with MS…”

“Of these, 17% had evidence of brain microbleeds, and the more concussions they experienced, the more microbleeds they had. Those who had experienced a concussion tended to have poorer sleep and more gait disturbances, depression symptoms, and memory deficits than those without a concussion.”

“Researchers analyzed changes in the participants' brains and performed PET scans to measure the availability of the A1 adenosine receptor—a protein involved in sleep regulation—and its relationship to brain plasticity.”

“The researchers applied transcranial alternating current stimulation to the participants' brains at varying frequencies once a day for four days. As a placebo treatment, participants received a much shorter duration treatment.”

“This 2022 review presents the current state of the science surrounding the effects of creatine supplementation on the brain.”

“Schizophrenia is also linked to increased oxidative stress in the brain and sulforaphane has been shown to improve symptoms of schizophrenia in a small open-label study. A larger randomized placebo-controlled study investigating the effects of sulforaphane on schizophrenia is ongoing and is expected to end in July of 2019.”

“It was previously known that these molecules stimulate the formation of synapses in the brain, thus improving learning ability. Through the sperm, they are transmitted to the next generation. "Presumably, they modify brain development in a very subtle manner improving the connection of neurons.”

“Researchers analyzed brain scans and long-term health data from 964 adults in northern China, monitoring them for 16 years. They used machine learning to estimate brain age based on imaging techniques and compared brain aging among groups with various high-risk health factors.”

“01:03:50 - Liposomal glutathione bypasses cellular transport mechanisms to increase heart, brain, and liver glutathione levels. Study. 01:06:50 - Topical application of glutathione reduced inflammation and cell death after brain injury in mice.”

“Repeated activation of SF1 neurons during recovery may create plasticity, the brain's ability to strengthen circuits through experience. These changes may let the brain keep a kind of record of past workouts and influence metabolic responses during future workouts.”
