“The default mode network is a collection of interconnected neural structures involved in attention and focus. Disturbances in default mode network connectivity are associated with poor working memory, reduced performance, and work-related productivity losses.”

“Researchers drew on data from more than 86,000 healthy older adults enrolled in the UK Biobank and ASPREE studies. They measured the participants' triglyceride levels and assessed different aspects of their cognition, such as memory, language, and reasoning.”

“In particular, estrogen influenced the activity of a gene called HDAC4, which plays important roles in memory and fear processing. Women who carried certain variants of HDAC4 exhibited an impaired ability to deal with and recover from a traumatic event.”

“Participants in the EPA + DHA group performed statistically significantly better in multiple cognitive domains including verbal fluency, language, memory, psychomotor speed and attention, and visual-motor coordination, compared to the group that took no supplement.”

“Deep sleep, characterized by slow brain waves, heart rate, and respiration, is essential for memory formation and immune function. Evidence suggests deep sleep influences cardiovascular health, too.”

“However, research on rodents has identified lasting, mild effects on memory and learning following a single, extremely low dose of THC equivalent to 0.2 micrograms per kilogram in humans – far less than the average dose the infants in this study received.”

“Some evidence suggests that problems with the brain's creatine system may play a role in this decline. A recent study found that creatine supplements improved brain energy use, reduced the buildup of Alzheimer's disease-related proteins, and boosted memory in mice.”

“Scientists have long believed that physical activity can enhance memory by inducing changes in the brain's structure and function. A recent study found that after 10 weeks of cardiovascular exercise combined with a vocabulary learning task, participants who exhibited larger increases in immune system signaling molecules also experienced stronger short-term learning improvements.”

“Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to improve working memory; however, the mechanisms that drive these improvements are unknown. The randomized placebo-controlled study involved 183 participants who had mild cognitive impairment.”

“Compared to children whose mothers received only folic acid, children in the iron plus folic acid and mixed micronutrient group performed better in multiple domains, including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.”
