Alzheimer’s disease affects memory. It is rooted in the gut microbiome according to the latest research. Bad bacteria, molds, fungus, animal feces, high blood glucose, lipids and parasites can affect the brain which cannot fight these invading microbes. Most women who have Alzheimer’s have also diabetes and depression. Stress is also a major factor andContinue reading “Women with larger number of “bridging regions” in the brain and Alzheimer”

Alzheimer clues
Alzheimer can start from lack of sense of taste, memory problems and lack of sleep. Connie Dello Buono DETECTING DIMINISHING DOPAMINE FIRING CELLS IN BRAIN COULD REVEAL EARLIEST SIGNS OF ALZHEIMER’S NEUROSCIENCE NEWSMARCH 27, 2018 According to researchers, if the ventral tegmental area is unable to produce the correct amount of dopamine for the hippocampus,Continue reading “Alzheimer clues”
Insulin Resistance May Lead to Faster Cognitive Decline
Insulin Resistance May Lead to Faster Cognitive Decline Summary: A new study reports insulin resistance is linked to accelerated cognitive decline. Source: AFTAU. Executive function and memory are particularly vulnerable to the effects of insulin resistance, Tel Aviv University researchers say. A new Tel Aviv University study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease finds that insulinContinue reading “Insulin Resistance May Lead to Faster Cognitive Decline”

Cognitive trajectories in prediabetes and diabetes: a population-based cohort study
Cognitive trajectories in prediabetes and diabetes: a population-based cohort study DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/gerona/glx112 Abstract Background: Diabetes has been linked to dementia risk; however, the cognitive trajectories in older adults with diabetes remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the effect of prediabetes and diabetes on cognitive trajectories among cognitively intact older adults in a long-term follow-up study.Continue reading “Cognitive trajectories in prediabetes and diabetes: a population-based cohort study”
Simple Changes for Optimal Focus in the brain
Simple Changes for Optimal Focus By making simple changes to your daily diet and habits, you can become more productive. To help improve your brain power, here are six ways to have better mental focus at work: Supercharge your diet Certain foods can enhance your brainpower. For example, pistachios support better blood flow, bringing oxygenContinue reading “Simple Changes for Optimal Focus in the brain”
Puberty Hormones Trigger Changes in Youthful Learning
Summary: A new study demonstrates changes in cortical neurotransmission due to hormones at puberty. Source: UC Berkeley. Brain study of mice has broad implications for the health and education of young girls. A University of California, Berkeley, study of mice reveals, for the first time, how puberty hormones might impede some aspects of flexible youthfulContinue reading “Puberty Hormones Trigger Changes in Youthful Learning”
Depression to Dementia
(i) Individuals who develop depression at any point in their lives, sustain minimal or no depression-related neuropathology (eg, glucocorticoid neurotoxicity), and who have stable, normal cognitive functioning; (ii) Individuals who develop depression at any point and who experience depression-related neuropathology that results in MCI that is stable (unless they experience additional depressive episodes); (iii) IndividualsContinue reading “Depression to Dementia”
Yoga and behavioral memory interventions for the aging brain
Yoga and behavioral memory interventions to prevent age-related cognitive decline A study examined changes in brain metabolites and structure among individuals undergoing memory training and yogic meditation. We demonstrated that memory training over 3 months is associated with decreased choline levels in bilateral hippocampus and increased gray-matter volume in dACC, suggesting that behavioral interventions likeContinue reading “Yoga and behavioral memory interventions for the aging brain”
Resveratrol and calorie restriction activates SIRT1 , anti-aging gene
When the SIRT1 gene is activated, it produces proteins that protect cells from inflammation and oxidative stress, two of the primary causes of premature aging and many degenerative diseases. Almost all organisms have a gene that is equivalent to SIRT1. The gene is a defense mechanism, activated by low calorie consumption, that gives cells anContinue reading “Resveratrol and calorie restriction activates SIRT1 , anti-aging gene”
