“After 10 minutes of light exercise (30% VO2max) high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging showed better connectivity between the hippocampal dentate gyrus and cortical areas linked to detailed memory processing. The magnitude of the enhanced functional connectivity also predicted the extent of memory improvement suggesting that even light exercise is good for the brain.”

“Psychological distress often appears as a tightly linked cluster of high stress, anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, and everyday memory lapses. While omega-3 fatty acids are known to support brain structure and signaling, evidence for their mental health effects remains inconsistent across populations.”

“Events experienced during periods of wakefulness trigger the activity of different neurons in the brain. During sleep, the brain "relives" those events by triggering the activity of the same neurons – at 10 to 20 times the original speed.”

“The study involved 63 older women who had self-reported memory problems and cerebrovascular conditions – risk factors for Alzheimer's. About half the women participated in a weekly yoga session, while the other half participated in weekly memory training.”

“Breast milk contains a multitude of components that work together synergistically to supply a compensatory immune "system," including antimicrobial agents (lactoferrin, secretory IgA, lactalbumin, lysozyme, and monolaurin); anti-inflammatory agents (interleukin [IL]-10, lactoferrin, and lysozyme); immunomodulatory factors (memory T cells, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, colony-stimulating factor 3…”

“Memory after a delay improved in both exercise groups, suggesting that physical activity itself may support some forms of memory in ADHD even without added mental challenges. Both exercise programs improved cognitive flexibility, the ability to shift between rules or tasks, compared with the control group.”

“Approximately half of the participants took a supplement providing 2.3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids daily for six months; the other half took a placebo. All participants took the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), a widely accepted measure of memory and cognitive function, before and after the intervention.”

“[...] > "In this series of studies, we have shown that BDNF targets the cortical cells themselves, preventing their death, stimulating their function, and improving learning and memory.”

“There are several different compounds in blueberries including anthocyanins and pterostilbene that have been shown to improve memory in animals.”

“"A medication that boosts the body's own cannabis-like substances, endocannabinoids, shows promise to help the brain unlearn fear memories when these are no longer meaningful." This preliminary trial found that boosting the body's endocannabinoids by preventing the body from breaking them down was able to help people unlearn fear memories and may hold promise for helping treat PTSD.”
