“People who ate one serving of green, leafy vegetables performed better on learning/memory tests and showed an equivalent of being 11 years younger cognitively than people who rarely ate them. This was an observational study so causation cannot be established.”

“From the article: > ProBDNF is the precursor form of mature brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF), and both are active in the hippocampus and cortex -- areas key to learning, memory and higher thinking.”

“To assess memory and cognitive performance, mice completed a water maze, a sensitive measure of hippocampal function, which is closely related to memory. The researchers measured changes in gene expression, HDAC activity, and neurogenesis.”

“Blood flow to the brain increased by nearly 3 percent, suggesting that cerebrovascular function is a critical aspect of maintaining or improving memory and verbal skills. Link to study abstract. Learn more about the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise in our overview article.”

“Among participants with children, response times varied little by number of children. Participants with children generally made fewer mistakes on the visual-memory task than childless participants, with larger and more consistent differences in men.”

“At the end of the study period, the authors of the study assessed the children for changes in reading, working memory, and behavior, including attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, based on performance and teacher and parental assessments.”

“Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. Roughly 50 million people have Alzheimer's disease worldwide.”

“They found reactive memory T-helper cells in 83 percent of people with COVID-19 and 35 percent of people who had not been exposed to the virus. The T cells of COVID-19 patients reacted to both the N- and the C-terminal ends of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.”

“Those with moderate/increasing CRP levels were twice as likely to have poor processing speed. There were no significant associations between CRP levels and memory, verbal fluency, category fluency, or overall cognition.”

“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.”
