“FTA: > New research finds that an increase in brain magnesium improves learning and memory in young and old rats. The study suggests that increasing magnesium intake may be a valid strategy to enhance cognitive abilities and supports speculation that inadequate levels of magnesium impair cognitive function, leading to faster deterioration of memory in aging humans.”

“FTA: >In the rodents that received the bacterial agent (and exhibited memory deterioration), the networks of neurons activated in the two environments were very similar, unlike those in the animals not given the agent (whose memories remained strong).”

“"This suggests that xenon could be given at the exact time the memory is reactivated, and for a limited amount of time, which may be key features for any potential therapy used in humans."”

“These changes drive processes that improve cellular respiration, reduce inflammation, enhance memory, and provide protection from cancer – critical aspects in slowing the effects of aging and promoting longevity.”

“Females between the ages of 35 and 55 years (the period surrounding menopause) who had lower estradiol concentrations were more likely to exhibit greater structural network impairments and worse memory performance.”

“25 minutes of non-invasive electrical brain stimulation was able to improve working memory by restoring electrical activity between two brain regions (prefrontal and temporal) in elderly people.”

“The pooled differences were approximately 0.07 standard deviation for global cognition and 0.06 standard deviation for episodic memory. Investigators translated selected score differences into approximately two years of age-related change in global cognition and 4.8 years for episodic memory.”

“The authors found that Lactobascillus bacteria more than doubled following kefir consumption suggesting significant change in the gut microbial community. Participants consuming kefir performed better on two measures of memory called misplacement and object-location binding.”

“A recent study in mice found that cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound in marijuana, restores the gut microbiome in cocaine users, reversing memory-associated cocaine addiction. Researchers gave adult mice either cocaine + placebo or cocaine + cannabidiol.”

“FTA: > By manipulating neural circuits in the brain of mice, scientists have altered the emotional associations of specific memories. The research reveals that the connections between the part of the brain that stores contextual information about an experience and the part of the brain that stores the emotional memory of that experience are malleable.”
