Vascular factors to BBB to neurotoxin to Dementia
Abstract Abstract Vascular insults can initiate a cascade of molecular events leading to neurodegeneration, cognitive impairment and dementia. Here, we review the cellular and molecular mechanisms in cerebral blood vessels and the pathophysiological events leading to cerebral blood flow dysregulation and disruption of the neurovascular unit and the blood-brain barrier, which all may contribute toContinue reading “Vascular factors to BBB to neurotoxin to Dementia”
Lyme Disease by Dr Mercola
Lyme disease was first recognized in the United States in 1975, after a mysterious outbreak of arthritis near Lyme, Connecticut. It wasn’t until 1982 that the spirochete that causes Lyme was identified. It was subsequently named Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), in honor of Willy Burgdorfer, Ph.D., a pioneer researcher. Lyme Diseases is a complex illness thatContinue reading “Lyme Disease by Dr Mercola”
Damage to Blood–brain barrier (BBB) pathways leading to Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia
Blood–brain barrier (BBB) pathways to neurodegeneration in dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) A: In the normal capillary, there is an intact BBB composed of tightly joined endothelial cells and supported by mural pericytes, as shown in this simplified schematic. The BBB normally selectively regulates the passage of molecules from blood to brain and vice versa,Continue reading “Damage to Blood–brain barrier (BBB) pathways leading to Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia”

Brain neurons can be stimulated to create more networks, re-hydrate brain by sleeping
What stops our brain from having this balance all the time? Injury Medications, including alcohol Fatigue Emotional distress Pain Stress These 6 types of problems tend to create a pattern in our brain’s activity that is hard to shift.
