Compounds in Lion’s mane mushroom found to improve memory by aiding nerve growth
A study found that compounds in the edible lion’s mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) can boost brain health by aiding the growth of nerve cells. Researchers from the University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia made this finding in a study published Jan. 20 in the Journal of Neurochemistry. They managed to isolate the compounds N-de phenylethyl isohericerin […]

Study: Forgetting is a form of learning that helps your brain access important memories
It can be annoying when you’re trying to remember something, but your brain refuses to cooperate. But according to a study published in the journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience, forgetting is actually a form of learning that helps you access more important information. The study was conducted by researchers Tomas Ryan from Trinity College Dublin and Paul Frankland from […]

The song in your head: The brain can recognize familiar songs in just 300 milliseconds
The ability to recall a popular song is exemplified on “name that tune” game shows where contestants have to identify a snippet of music in just a few seconds. But British and Japanese researchers say that humans may actually do better than that: The brain only takes as little as one-tenth of a second to recognize a familiar tune. The finding, published in […]

Animal study reveals cadmium exposure and Alzheimer’s risk gene may be linked to cognitive impairment
Researchers at the University of Washington found that cadmium exposure, combined with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, might accelerate cognitive decline. The researchers arrived at this finding after exposing mice with an Alzheimer’s risk gene to cadmium. They detailed their findings in a paper published in the journal Toxicological Sciences. The effects of cadmium plus an Alzheimer’s risk gene The […]

Sleep and memories: Study shows sound cues can help participants solve puzzles while they’re ASLEEP
Researchers from Northwestern University have found a fascinating way to activate problem-solving during sleep. In a study published in the journal Psychological Science, the researchers explained how they used sound cues to stimulate information processing in sleeping participants. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they were able to work out the brainteasers they failed to solve the previous night. “This study provides […]

Forgotten dreams: REM sleep helps prevent information overload, explain scientists
Dreams are quickly forgotten the moment people wake up. This is likely due to a group of neurons that gets activated during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep – the phase of mammalian slumber when most dreams are made. A recent study published in the journal Science examined the neurons that produce appetite and sleep hormones in mice. Japanese and American […]

Too much sugar in the bloodstream can worsen septic shock, lead to memory loss
Survivors of septic shock often experience memory loss and premature cognitive decline. While this is a known and established occurrence, the cause of this cognitive impairment is unknown. But in a new study published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, American researchers finally shed light on what causes the loss of cognitive function […]

Magnetic stimulation of the brain can help prevent age-related memory decline, suggest researchers
Researchers from Northwestern University in Chicago conducted a pilot study that tested the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation for the prevention of age-related memory decline. The results, published in an online issue of Neurology on April 17, 2019, suggest that memory can be enhanced temporarily using magnetic fields. The magnetic fields purportedly stimulate nerve cells […]

Study: Following a choline-rich diet may offer transgenerational protection against Alzheimer’s disease
Nutrients are like instructions, building our cells and telling them how to operate and communicate. These instructions strengthen our genetics, communicating vitality and disease prevention. The lack of nutrition can cause deficiencies in our bodies, damaging cells and bringing the worst traits out of our genes. Research shows that these nutritional instructions can be passed […]
