“They assessed the effects of caffeine exposure on cognitive measures (working memory, task efficiency) and psychopathology measures (externalization, internalization, somatization, and neurodevelopment).”

“Findings from a new study suggest that inadequate sleep increases a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Alzheimer's disease and dementia are age-related disorders characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes.”

“Those who had experienced a concussion tended to have poorer sleep and more gait disturbances, depression symptoms, and memory deficits than those without a concussion. Microbleeds are markers of cerebral small vessel disease—age-related blood vessel impairments in the brain.”

“Copper plays a vital role in maintaining brain health; however, either excessive or insufficient intake can be detrimental. As people age, maintaining the right balance of copper may help prevent memory loss and other signs of cognitive decline.”

“Cognitive abilities such as memory and attention often decline with age, and finding practical ways to slow this process remains a major public health challenge. Many strategies focus on medical risk factors, but less is known about whether social activities can make a difference.”

“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.”

“The hippocampus is a small organ located within the brain's medial temporal lobe. It is an important part of the limbic system (the region that regulates emotions) and plays critical roles in memory, learning, and spatial navigation.”

“Concussions are common among student athletes and can affect memory, judgment, reflexes, speech, balance, and coordination. Findings from a recent study suggest that sleep deprivation mimics many of the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome.”

“Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss, spatial disorientation, cognitive dysfunction, and behavioral changes. It is the most common form of dementia, affecting nearly 50 million people worldwide.”

“Evidence indicates that sulforaphane shows similar promise, as it [impairs amyloid-beta production and improves learning and memory in mice. Learn more about sulforaphane in this episode featuring expert Dr. Jed Fahey. Link to study abstract.”
