“Theta waves play a crucial role in various cognitive processes, such as memory formation, learning, and spatial navigation. They enable communication and synchronization between brain regions, facilitating efficient information processing and integration.”

“Those who took the prebiotic performed better on cognitive tests than those who took the placebo. In particular, they performed better on a paired associate learning test, a memory assessment commonly used for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease.”

“They also experienced slower shrinkage of the right hippocampus, a region critical for memory. Moderate plant nitrate intake also appeared protective in men with the gene variant and those without it, but the patterns varied depending on sex and genetic risk.”

“Alzheimer's disease and dementia are age-related disorders characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. As many as 55 million people worldwide have dementia, a figure expected to triple in the next three decades.”

“For 30 days, 101 volunteers, aged 17 to 53, were asked to complete one diary entry at a randomly prompted time each day. They rated pleasant experiences during the preceding hour, combining how frequent, intense, and impactful they were.”

“This decrease in COVID-19 severity, but not SARS-CoV-2 infection rate in eCoV-positive patients, may be due to decreased cytokine storm injury. These results suggest immunological memory from a previous coronavirus infection does not impede viral replication and instead tempers the immune response.”

“Each of the participants performed cognitive tasks and provided blood samples before and after each meal/treatment. The authors of the study assessed the participants for changes in their episodic memory and executive function as well as plasma levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides.”

“The importance of fostering a “stress-is-enhancing” versus a “stress-is-debilitating” mindset: If we tell ourselves that stress is good for us – that it sharpens focus and enhances memory for specific things – that’s exactly what it will do.”

“A common type of fungus, Candida albicans, was shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger an inflammatory response in the brain that results in memory impairment (mouse study).”

“In particular, those who took the nutritional supplement showed improvements in power, strength and endurance, mobility and stability, heart rate and lean muscle mass as well as episodic memory, fluid intelligence accuracy, executive function reaction time, and processing efficiency.”
