“Still, the results suggest that microdosing may be useful for supporting the adoption of healthier behaviors and lifestyle habits. In this clip, I discuss aspects of the psychedelic experience that make psilocybin potentially therapeutically beneficial for depression.”

“New research suggests that omega-3 fatty acids might have long-term neurodevelopmental effects in children that ultimately reduce antisocial and aggressive behavior problems. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that are essential for human health.”

“Mice with this form of liver inflammation typically have high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and exhibit distinct sickness behaviors. They fed the mice either a probiotic or a placebo and then they studied the animals' behavior.”

“Approximately 812,000 children living in the United States experience a traumatic brain injury (TBI) – a disruption in normal brain function caused by an external mechanical force – each year. TBI is a serious injury, eliciting both acute and chronic damage to the brain.”

“Data indicate that more than 11 percent of adolescents living in the United States may have depression. Findings from a recent study suggest that low physical activity and high sedentary behavior may be risk factors for depression in adolescents.”

“The immune system also influences behavior by inducing depressive symptoms during periods of acute or, alternatively, chronic inflammation. Learn more in this clip featuring Dr. Charles Raison. Read study abstract.”

“Previous research demonstrates that insulin resistance reduces brain volume and cognitive function in middle-aged adults. Results of a new study demonstrate that insulin interacts with dopamine to modulate reward-based behavior and whole-body metabolism.”

“Emotional regulation refers to the ability to understand and manage one's behavior and feelings in appropriate ways. Most children develop emotional regulation during the preschool years of two to five years of age, coinciding with frontal lobe development.”

“Zinc, serine, or BCAAs alone did not change social behavior, whereas the blend improved social interaction with other mice. The long-term group did not undergo protein analysis or brain-activity imaging and was tested on a broader behavioral battery than the one-week group.”
