“Case studies in people with a condition called "diabulimia" illustrate this concept. Diabulimia is an eating-disorder behavior seen only in people with type 1 diabetes: they deliberately skip or under-dose insulin to lose weight.”

“How well (and how quickly) we age depends on a confluence of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Some lifestyle behaviors, such as alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking, elicit harmful effects on multiple body systems that can accumulate over time to modulate aging.”

“A person who experiences loss of executive function may have problems with planning, organization, flexible thinking, social behavior, decision making, emotional control, and concentration.”

“The current study used imaging techniques to investigate whether these two lines of evidence were pointing to two disease subtypes: brain-first and body-first. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is characterized by vivid dreams and excessive movements during the rapid eye movement phase of sleep.”

“After the mice had followed their respective feeding regimens for three months, the authors of the study subjected them to behavioral studies (to assess spatial learning and memory, conducted at 24 hours and ten days post regimen) or gene expression studies.”

“Brain-derived neurotropic factor, or BDNF, also promotes neurogenesis. Learn more about BDNF and the lifestyle behaviors that promote its production in our overview article. View full publication.”

“During the task, the investigators measured the participants' behavior, brain activity, and circulating anandamide (endocannabinoid) levels. They found that vigorous-intensity exercise markedly improved motor sequence memory compared to rest.”

“They found that mice that received transplants from those that exhibited high IL-6 levels in response to stress demonstrated more depression-like behaviors than the mice that received transplants from those that exhibited low IL-6 levels.”

“Exposure to auditory stimuli alone had similar effects on microglial activity and amyloid burden in the auditory cortex of the mice's brains, but the mice also exhibited improved performance on several hippocampal-dependent tasks and improved brain vasculature.”

“The study revealed that children who had shorter sleep duration were more likely to experience depression and anxiety and were more likely to exhibit impulsive behavior and poor cognitive performance.”
