“00:34:27 How omega-3 fatty acids regulate serotonin release from neurons and receptor function. 00:41:26 How vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids are important to prevent brain dysfunction, particularly in individuals that have gene polymorphisms in the serotonin pathway that predispose them to low serotonin.”

Dr. Eric M. Verdin discusses the roles of the ketogenic diet, beta-hydroxybutyrate, HDAC inhibitors, NAD+, and more in the context of aging.

“Finally, choline is also a precursor for phosphatidylcholine, the major component of all cell membranes, which affects the structure, permeability and function of cells and is particularly important in neurons since it plays a role in general neurotransmission.”

“It is expressed by neurons in several areas of the body, including the eyes and – most notably – a brain region known as the ventral tegmentum (the floor of the midbrain). These neurons are exquisitely tied to movement, reward, motivation, and pursuit.”

“- Dr. Mark Mattson https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/mark-mattson/'] Whether we induce energetic crises through fasting, exercising, or tapping into a subset of the body's metabolic program through a specialized diet, some of the more compelling entities that define the ensuing metabolic switch are ketone bodies.”

“In the segment featuring the conversation with Dr. Griffiths, he explains that adherence to this protocol, which involves close participant monitoring, a dose methodically determined to reduce the likelihood of a challenging experience while maximizing therapeutic effects, and the provision of a safe physical environment and interpersonal support, is crucial for participant safety.”

“The interconnected nature of thermoregulation and sleep, particularly in the brain, highlights the importance of overlapping sleep regulation and heat loss processes. Critical to these processes are heat-sensing neurons in the preoptic area of the hypothalamus, a region known to play a crucial role in sleep regulation.”

“This is the first successful attempt (as far as I know) of using CRISPR technology to activate epigenetically silence genes in human cells.”
