“[...] "I was fascinated to see similarities between the pattern of brain activity in a psychedelic state and the pattern of brain activity during dream sleep, especially as both involve the primitive areas of the brain linked to emotions and memory.”

“Chemotherapy-associated cognitive impairment is a side-effect of chemotherapy in which people experience difficulties with concentration, decision making, and memory. Findings from a 2015 study suggest that women with a BDNF gene variation experience fewer cognitive problems during chemotherapy compared to those without this variation.”

“Cognitive function, including complex executive functions like working memory and basic functions like sensory processing, progressively declines with age. While executive function loss is highly variable and easily measurable in older adult populations, younger adults usually perform at a level consistent with their peers, which makes studying cognitive decline in younger adults difficult.”

“Maintaining oral health may play a more important role in brain aging than previously recognized. A new study from Korea followed middle-aged and older adults to see if oral health could help predict future memory problems.”

“After 30 months of omega-3 supplementation, participants had significantly better scores for verbal fluency, language, and memory than participants who did not supplement. Participants who supplemented also performed significantly better on two measures of visual-motor coordination.”

“##Vitamin C as mediator of brain health Vitamin C is found in high concentrations in the brain, especially in the hippocampus and frontal cortex regions – areas involved in memory consolidation, learning, and aspects of executive function.”

“Age-related changes in the brain drive cognitive impairment, which in turn alters memory formation and promotes mitochondrial dysfunction. A recent study demonstrates that spermidine improves cognitive function in humans.”

“A long-term Harvard study explored this question by tracking how daily movement related to subtle brain changes that precede memory loss. The team followed 296 older adults with an average age of about 72, who were cognitively unimpaired at the start.”

“Here are the key results: Across all studies, heavier use was moderately associated with poorer cognition overall, with the clearest links for attention and for inhibitory control, the mental ability to suppress impulses and stay on tasks, and weaker links for memory, language, and working memory, while reasoning showed no reliable association.”

“New clinical trial shows that people that were given whole grains had a modest improvement in a good type of gut bacteria, modestly lowered inflammatory gut bacteria, and modestly increased memory T cells after 6 weeks compared to those given refined grains.”
