“The omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) protect the aging brain by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation and increasing neurogenesis.”

“Although some of the hypoxia-associated effects of hyperbaric treatments, such as sirtuin activation, stem cell proliferation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and neurogenesis, are associated with longevity, the effects of hyperbaric therapy on cellular senescence are unknown.”

“Most of the body's glycogen stores are found in the muscles and liver, but some glycogen is found in the brain, primarily in the astrocytes, a type of cell involved in neurogenesis and blood-brain barrier maintenance.”

“Cytokines are proteins that participate in cell-signaling. Pro-inflammatory cytokines are increased in depression and contribute to the dysfunction of neurotransmission, hippocampal neurogenesis, and stress-related nervous system activation.”

“In muscles, IGF-1 supports repair and growth by increasing receptor density and sensitivity. In the brain, IGF-1 promotes neurogenesis, particularly in memory-critical areas like the hippocampus. Exercise also binds IGF-1 to protective proteins, reducing its availability to precancerous cells.”

“They also exhibited lower fear and anxiety-like behavior; improved adult hippocampal neurogenesis markers; and their mothers produced more milk, implying increased calorie transfer during lactation.”

“It is worth mentioning that exercise benefits human health independently of potential weight loss, through effects such as improved endothelial cell function, neurogenesis, glucose regulation, and inflammation. Link to full publication.”

“Dr. Roland Griffiths is a clinical pharmacologist at Johns Hopkins and one of the world's foremost researchers on the psychedelic compound psilocybin. Learn more about Dr. Roland R. Griffiths Johns Hopkins Profile - Roland R. Griffiths. List of Publications.”

“Prior investigations have demonstrated that transfer of the fecal microbiota from aged mice to young mice alters immunity, neurogenesis, and cognition; however, the consequence of fecal transplantation from young mice to aged mice is unknown.”

“Vigorous Exercise and Brain Aging Lactate—produced at high levels during vigorous exercise—mediates some of the benefits of exercise on learning and memory through its effects on BDNF expression in neurons. BDNF is a type of neurotrophin (growth factor) that controls and promotes neurogenesis and neuroplasticity ([you can learn more about BDNF in my Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint).”
