“Parents of these children completed questionnaires about their child’s sugar-sweetened beverage (e.g., soda, fruit juice, energy drinks) consumption, executive function (e.g., emotion regulation, organizing, memory), and other demographics and lifestyle information (e.g., socioeconomic status, parental education, parental smoking status, exercise habits).”

“However, this secondary analysis did not systematically assess memory, thinking, or dementia diagnoses. Relative to their starting values, the predicted odds of dementia within five years were 26% lower with semaglutide than placebo at week 104.”

“The decline of deep sleep begins early in life, nearly disappears by age 80, increasing the risk for Alzheimer's disease. These Aliquot segments feature Dr. Charles Raison, a professor of psychiatry, and Dr. Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology.”

“The investigators assigned ten male participants (average age, 27 years) with a normal BMI (average BMI, 24) to receive either intranasal insulin or a placebo and undergo a combined PET and MRI scan after having fasted overnight.”

“Before and after the intervention, participants underwent neuropsychological testing, structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, body measurement, and blood tests for assessment of metabolic biomarkers (i.e., blood lipids, insulin, glucose, hemoglobin A1c), inflammatory markers, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF…”

“Research from Dr. Eran Elinav's lab suggests that metabolic parameters normalize with weight loss, but characteristics of the microbiome remain unchanged. In other words, the microbiome holds a memory of past obesity that promotes weight regain.”

“All participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans while sleeping. Before their scans, they answered questions about their personality, anxiety levels, cognitive ability, and sleep quality. They also completed a battery of tests to gauge memory and creativity.”

“They produce plasma cells and memory B cells – long-lasting immune cells that secrete antibodies that provide protection against future reinfection. Germinal centers are important components of the body's adaptive immune response.”

“For example, vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise appears to activate the endocannabinoid system to promote motor sequence memory and learning. Other evidence suggests it improves mood. The study involved 8,600 adult participants enrolled in the UK Biobank study.”

“Cytokines are small signaling proteins that play essential roles in the body's inflammatory process. They are produced primarily by immune cells, but they are also produced at basal levels in the brain, where they participate in memory and learning.”
