The hippocampus, responsible for autobiographical memory and individuality, is highly susceptible to external influences. Modern lifestyles (nutritional deficiencies, toxins, chronic stress) impair neurogenesis (new neuron growth), leading to cognitive decline. Hippocampal shrinkage is linked to poor mental health, memory loss and increased susceptibility to depression and Alzheimer's. This decline is not natural aging but a … Continue reading Health Ranger Report: The globalist assault on human neurology as laid out in “The Indoctrinated Brain” by Dr. Michael Nehls
Scientists find that strategic use of aromas during sleep may improve exam performance
A recent study has shown that odor plays a role in learning, in particular, in improving exam performance. In the report, published in the journal Scientific Reports, lead author Jurgen Kornmeier noted that fragrances have a supportive effect that “works very reliably in everyday life and can be used in a targeted way.” Their findings supported previous research … Continue reading Scientists find that strategic use of aromas during sleep may improve exam performance
Study: Inflammation may be linked to “brain fog”
Researchers from the University of Birmingham and the University of Amsterdam have found strong evidence linking inflammation to “brain fog,” a type of cognitive dysfunction commonly described as mental sluggishness. In their study published in the journal Neuroimage, the researchers explained that a cognitive process responsible for alertness is particularly affected shortly after inoculation with a vaccine that causes temporary inflammation. In turn, this effect … Continue reading Study: Inflammation may be linked to “brain fog”
HDAC Inhibitor Could Sharpen Memory and Treat Cancer
New research has found that a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor drug used to treat cancer could also help sharpen memory and improve one’s ability to learn a new language. It could even help rewire the brain and sustain neurons which could be of benefit to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia. Researchers from Rutgers published a study … Continue reading HDAC Inhibitor Could Sharpen Memory and Treat Cancer
RNA Methylation Gives Epigenetic Clues to Strengthening Memory
Memory is a complex process, one that we have only just begun to understand. Research hints that it might be possible for histone modification to degrade memory if we don’t get enough sleep or that certain epigenetic anti-cancer drugs known as HDAC inhibitors could sharpen memory. RNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that has been recently gained a lot of … Continue reading RNA Methylation Gives Epigenetic Clues to Strengthening Memory
“I Am No Longer Haunted By That Awful Memory” – New Epigenetic Drug Treatment May Erase Painful Memories
Is it possible for a drug to dampen a traumatic memory? It may be, as researchers are discovering that a fundamental epigenetic mechanism is responsible for long-term fear memory. Neuroplasticity, also called brain plasticity, refers to the changes in neural connections such as synapses and neural pathways as a result of changes in behavior, environmental … Continue reading “I Am No Longer Haunted By That Awful Memory” – New Epigenetic Drug Treatment May Erase Painful Memories
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 … Continue reading Forgotten dreams: REM sleep helps prevent information overload, explain scientists
Chinese herbal medicines that can improve memory and cognition
Older adults often suffer from mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is defined as the stage between cognitive decline that comes naturally with aging and the more serious decline in brain performance (dementia). MCI affects many aspects of cognition, such as memory, language, judgment and thinking. Although researchers have yet to pinpoint a single cause of MCI, they are … Continue reading Chinese herbal medicines that can improve memory and cognition
The Epigenetics of Honeybee Memory Offers a Glimpse Into Our Own Minds
The fascinating memory of a honeybee could give us hints about our own long-term memory formation, scientists suggest. According to a new study, epigenetic marks are added to the DNA of honeybees in a response to an enzyme known as DNA methyltransferase (Dmnt) and removed in response to a Dnmt inhibitor drug. This epigenetic mechanism … Continue reading The Epigenetics of Honeybee Memory Offers a Glimpse Into Our Own Minds
Understanding brain fog and how to treat it
Brain fog is a type of cognitive dysfunction that causes feelings of confusion, forgetfulness, and a lack of focus and mental clarity. It is not a medically recognized condition, but rather a symptom of other medical conditions. There are many reasons why brain fog occurs. Listed below are the main causes of brain fog and how to treat it: … Continue reading Understanding brain fog and how to treat it
