Wiley: Regular Exercise May Boost Brain Health in Adults - 0 views

  •  
    Study finds that exercise increases cognitive function through increased blood flow in brain.  This study only looked at women.  Now we know why we do our best thinking when we exercise.

effects of beta-hydroxybutyrate on cognition in memory-impaired adults - 0 views

  •  
    Those with Alzheimer's disease have associated dysfunction of glucose metabolism in the brain, particularly in the hippocampus. It has been reported that a ketogenic diet can improve cognitive function in these individuals. In this study, the ketone bodies were initiated through a diet high in medium chain fatty acids. The ketone bodies served as an alternative fuel source for the brain.

Ginsenoside Rg3 Alleviates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Learning and Memory Impairments b... - 0 views

  •  
    Rat model induced inflammatory reaction in brain via LPS injection.  The result was impaired memory.  RG3 from panax ginseng was shown to reduce inflammation, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, cox-2, thus improving memory and cognitive function.

  •  
    Higher T4 and T3 results in improved cognitive function.  Higher with the normal reference range that is.  Thyroid levels cannot be taken purely in reference to "normal".

  •  
    curcumin shown to improve cognitive function through a decrease in lipid peroxidation in the brain of rats.

Neuroprotective effects of theanine and its pr... [Pharmacol Res. 2011] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    This study found improved cognitive function, though small, in elderly group taking in green tea.  The positive effects proposed by the authors here is from a very small dose of l-Theanine, but synergistic effect with the also present catechins in green tea.

  • Insulin's effects on cognition may reflect normal regulation of glucose metabolism, long-term potentiation, and neurotransmitter levels
  • future therapeutic trials should consider the moderating effects of APOE genotype.
  •  
    Insulin negatively impacts memory and cognitive function

Preliminary evidence of cognitive an... [Obesity (Silver Spring). 2014] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Altered cognitive function found in adolescents with non-IR obesity.  This worsened with MetS and type II Diabetes.  The statement that there is healthy obesity is in error.

Efficacy of tablet huperzine-A on memory, cognition, and behavior in Alzheimer's disease - 0 views

  •  
    small study, but well designed that showed that huperzine A supplementation improved executive function in Alzheimer's patients. Huperzine A is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with white matter integrity in aging - Hayes - ... - 0 views

  • CRF impacts cognition and the brain during childhood, exerts minimal influence during young adulthood when indicators of neural structure and function are typically at their lifetime peak, but may again positively impact brain structure and function in OA as cognitive decline begins in later adulthood.
  • enhanced white matter microstructure in high-fit children relative to low-fit children
  • current results support the notion that CRF contributes to successful brain aging
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • there is regional specificity in the associations between peak VO2 and FA
  •  
    Physical fitness associated with improved brain aging as the body ages.

Caloric restriction improves memory in elderly humans - 0 views

  •  
    30% caloric restriction significantly improved memory/cognitive function in elderly.

Controlled trial of N-acetylcysteine for patients with probable Alzheimer's disease - 0 views

  •  
    NAC shown to improve secondary measures of cognitive function in small study in those with Alzheimer's disease. NAC proves to be a reliable means to reduce free radical induced advanced glycation end productions and resultant inflammation. Also was shown to be well tolerated.

Effects of estrogen on memory funct... [Psychoneuroendocrinology. 1992] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    estrogen therapy in surgical menopause preserves memory.  Rapid decline in estrogen levels post surgical menopause is associated with cognitive/memory decline.  Versus placebo, estrogen therapy preserved memory function.
