“List of Publications. Wikipedia Profile on Eric Verdin, M.D. Relevant publications Ketogenic Diet Reduces Midlife Mortality and Improves Memory in Aging Mice. A Ketogenic Diet Extends Longevity and Healthspan in Adult Mice.”

“Researchers assessed the participants' relational memory, mood, and microbiota composition before and after each intervention. They found that participants who consumed the kefir showed improvements in their relational memory.”

“The participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging while storing information in their working memory and again while performing strategies to remove that information. The imaging studies revealed that replacing and clearing thoughts work by shifting the brain's focus.”

“Remembering a person's face – and the name that goes with it – are fundamental aspects of social and professional relationships. Scientists think that, like many other aspects of memory, sleep plays an important role in the ability to recall faces and names.”

“Lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation improves visual processing in younger healthy adults. Cognitive function, including complex executive functions like working memory and essential functions like sensory processing, progressively declines with age.”

“These improvements were still present at follow-up testing one month later. Participants with poorer cognitive function at the beginning of the treatment showed greater, longer-lasting memory improvements.”

“The researchers found no clear improvement in global cognition, information processing, or attention. Walking showed a relatively consistent signal, and low-intensity activity was associated with larger improvements in memory.”

Ketones such as beta-hydroxybutyrate enhance DNA transcription and gene expression. (ref pmid=25127866') Findings from one group of researchers demonstrate that a ketogenic diet can alleviate some of the neurological deficits of Kabuki syndrome and improve memory.

“THC (found in cannabis) that was given to old mice improved performance on learning and memory tests, improved connections between neurons, and resulted in gene activation profiles in the hippocampus that resembled young mice.”

“Findings from a new study suggest that intermittent fasting is more effective than caloric restriction in activating klotho, a longevity gene, to improve long-term memory retention in mice. The klotho gene provides the instructions for making the klotho protein in mammals, including mice and humans.”
