“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.”

“From the article: > The neurotransmitter brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) acts in the muscle, so that during strength training endurance muscle fiber number is decreased. Researchers at the University of Basel's Biozentrum have more closely investigated this factor, from the group of myokines, and demonstrated that it is produced by the muscle and acts on both muscles and synapses.”

“Dopamine drives motivation Dopamine is a neuromodulator (not a neurotransmitter) that works broadly to change the way the circuits in our brains work. According to Dr. Huberman, dopamine is constantly “generating playlists of certain genres of neural circuit function.” The catecholamines.”

“The participants took 2 billion Bifidobacterium bacteria per day, which is a pretty small quantity of probiotics. It is likely that the probiotics are working through multiple mechanisms such as lowering inflammation and increasing neurotransmitters.”

“A 28% lower risk of dementia and better scores on tests for memory and linguistic abilities was associated with a high intake of dietary phosphatidylcholine mainly from eggs and meat in men. Choline is an important precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which plays an important role in cognition.”

“These rhythms provide the cues that regulate every aspect of our lives, from when we eat and sleep to when we should take certain medications or get vaccinated. Even neurotransmitters have circadian rhythms, elevating our moods at certain times of the day – and perhaps darkening them at others.”

“The authors of the study suggested that the mechanisms that drive this association may be related to the effects of nicotine on neurotransmitters in the brain and subsequent alterations in mood. Link to study abstract.”

“Vitamin C is also important for the regulation of neurotransmitters, the formation of neural circuits, and many other key brain functions. ##Vitamin C as chemoprotective agent Vitamin C has been put to the test against many types of cancers, including glioblastoma, melanoma, and pancreatic, ovarian, colorectal, and non-small cell lung cancer.”

“Cannabis use may disrupt the delicate balance of brain chemicals like dopamine, a neurotransmitter critical for attention and motivation. Learn how to improve attention by leveraging the effects of dopamine in this episode featuring Dr. Andrew Huberman.”

“Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of dopamine-producing neurons, motor impairments, and the accumulation of alpha-synuclein, a neuronal protein that regulates synaptic vesicle movements and neurotransmitter release.”
