“This may contribute to cognitive disruptions during smoking withdrawal that make quitting more difficult.”

“Benefits appeared to level off around 5,001 to 7,500 steps per day. Even around 3,000 to 5,000 steps were linked to slower tau accumulation and cognitive decline versus inactive peers, although functional changes in everyday activities did not differ at this lower activity level.”

“Arguments about "brain rot" from TikTok and similar apps often involve anecdotes rather than data. To address this, a new meta-analysis examined whether short-form video use is linked with changes in cognition and mental health.”

“If future, longer-term studies show that these benefits last and can be reproduced in other settings, structured exercise that combines movement with cognitive tasks could become a practical non-drug option for children with ADHD in schools, clinics, and community programs.”

“The mice that were given a ketogenic diet also displayed an improved balance in the microbiome in the gut. It increased the relative abundance of beneficial gut microbiota (Akkermansia muciniphila and Lactobacillus) and reduced that of pro-inflammatory taxa (Desulfovibrio and Turicibacter). It is thought that the increased blood ketone levels play a role in the microbiome changes.”

“After just three months of consuming a Western diet, mice showed declines in odor-related learning and memory. Weight gain and loss of glucose control were similar between the mice eating the Western and high-fat diets, but higher than among the mice eating the standard chow.”

“But it might also cause brain volume. Studies have shown in an association of even high normal fasting blood glucose associated with losses in the hippocampus and the amygdala, areas involved in memory and cognition. In other words, healthy people without diabetes.”

“The participants who engaged in the dance intervention showed marked improvements in brain volume in several regions of their brains compared to the other group, especially in the cingulate cortex, insula, corpus callosum and sensorimotor cortex, areas responsible for emotion, learning, memory, self-awareness, and voluntary movement.”

“Markers of inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, glucose metabolism, and genomic damage decreased. Measures of cognition, strength, and body composition improved. Discontinuation of supplemental GlyNAC negated these improvements.”
