“Other studies have shown that a short burst of exercise )10-20 minutes) improves learning and memory and increases the production of the neurotransmitters glutamate by 5% and GABA by 7%, as well as norepinephrine, a catecholamine involved in attention and focus.”

“Lactate serves as a signaling molecule in the brain, where it stimulates the production of neurotransmitters that promote focus and attention, as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, known for its role in supporting neurogenesis.”

“This comprehensive review presents evidence demonstrating that combining exercise (aerobic and resistance training) with polyphenol supplementation (crocin, curcumin, and quercetin) improves mood, reduces anxiety, enhances cognitive function, and supports mental health more effectively than either intervention alone, through mechanisms such as neurogenesis, neurotransmitter modulation…”

“Inflammatory molecules and cytokines are able to have these sort of effects is because they are able to cross over the blood-brain-barrier and disrupt neurotransmitter production and release.”

“We know that circadian rhythm regulates metabolism, hormone production, neurotransmitter production and more. This article covers another area that circadian rhythm also regulates: drug metabolism. Interesting read!”

“There are several proposed mechanisms including immune system modulation (ie. inflammation) and changes in brain neurotransmitters via vagal nerve stimulation. More studies still need to confirm the efficacy of probiotics for the treatment of anxiety but results look promising.”

“Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter for learning new motor skills and in reward-related learning. This study also found that the greater the improvement in brain function, the more belly fat a person lost during the course of the exercise intervention.”

“Exercise also improved disease severity (analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials). Some of the mechanisms include exercise-induced production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), IGF-1, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters.”

“The authors examined the brains of 45 study subjects (median age at death, 89.2), identifying ventrolateral preoptic neurons by staining the brains for the neurotransmitter galanin.”

“Alcohol also reduces levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and may even influence how we perceive and respond to threats. When under the influence of alcohol, there’s less activity in the brain’s visual and limbic regions.”
