“> The analysis revealed that for both the aerobic and stretching groups, brain volume increased in most gray matter regions, including the temporal lobe, which supports short-term memory.”

“TNF-alpha in the brain drives sickness behaviors associated with liver disease. Many liver disorders cause behavioral symptoms, often referred to as sickness behaviors, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, and "brain fog."”

“When circadian timing is stable, sleep tends to be more regular and restorative, which may support the glymphatic system. Efficient waste clearance and stable sleep have been linked to healthy brain activity and balanced inflammatory signaling.”

“A 2022 study found that alcohol consumption promotes iron deposition in the brain, compromising cognitive function, even among moderate drinkers. The investigation involved nearly 21,000 adults enrolled in the UK Biobank study.”

“To test this, they used CPT-2008, or CPT, an experimental compound that inhibits reverse electron transport. Reverse electron transport was elevated in mitochondria from tau-mutant human neurons and mice, and from postmortem brain tissue affected by tau-related disease.”

“These findings suggest that current B12 guidelines don't fully capture what the brain needs to function correctly and that even "normal" B12 levels could contribute to neurological changes.”

“Green leafy vegetables stood out as having the greatest beneficial influence on brain health and Alzheimer's disease pathology. The Mediterranean Diet emphasizes the consumption of vegetables, fruits, legumes, healthy fats, and at least three servings of fish weekly.”

“Autopsies were conducted on their brains after death, and the amount of protein from BDNF gene expression in the brain was then measured. [...] > The rate of cognitive decline was about 50 percent slower for those in the highest 10 percent of protein from BDNF gene expression compared to the lowest 10 percent.”

“A phase 1 clinical trial shows that ultrasound can be used to safely open up a region of the blood-brain barrier for 24 hrs in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Previously, ultrasound was shown to restore memory function of 75% of mice that were treated.”

“A recent study found that people who eat more nitrate from vegetables show fewer signs of early brain changes associated with Alzheimer's. Researchers analyzed data from more than 500 cognitively healthy older adults living in Australia.”
