Summary: Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord, overturning decades of neuroscience dogma. These peripheral neural stem cells, discovered in tissues like the lung and tail of mice, share key properties with brain-derived neural stem cells, including the ability to self-renew and … Read more
As scientists seek to unravel the intricate potential connections between nutrition and the aging brain, a new study from researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University is shedding light on how insufficient consumption of vitamin K may adversely affect cognition as people get older. The study, … Read more
Memory issues, brain fog and problems in concentration after recovering from Covid-19 infection could be linked to issues in a part of the brain, a new study published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE has found.Research by Griffith University scientists have found that long Covid patients display swelling in the hippocampus, the area of the … Read more
Myristamide, a fatty acid amide found in Camembert cheese, enhances cognitive function and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, offering potential insights into combating cognitive decline. Study: Fatty acid amides present in Camembert cheese improved cognitive decline after oral administration in mice.
