BRAIN TRANSPLANT LETS RECORDED MEMORIES BE PLAYED BACK
Neuron transplant repairs brain circuitry and normalized function in mice unable to respond to leptin, a hormone that regulates metabolism and controls body weight thus preventing the mice from becoming morbidly obese. Continue reading
TO MAINTAIN MEMORY FITNESS REMEMBER VITAMIN B EVERY DAY
A study of more than 250 older adults people, including people with mild cognitive impairment – a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease – were given a natural form of vitamin B found in beans, meat, whole grains and bananas – or a placebo – over a two-year period.
Taking the B vitamin supplement appeared to help maintain mental processes, such as planning, organizing and recalling information. An earlier study showed B vitamins slowed the rate of brain shrinkage compared with a group receiving a placebo.
In the absence of a vitamin B-12 deficiency, there are no peer-reviewed studies to substantiate that vitamin B-12 supplements enhance memory for people who have Alzheimer’s disease. Still, vitamin B-12 remains an important part of a healthy diet and maintenance of lifespan memory fitness.
If you’re concerned that you’re not getting enough vitamin B-12 or other specific nutrients, consult your doctor — especially if you’re an older adult or a vegetarian.

Manage Your Blood Sugar to Reduce Diabetes and Alzheimer’s Risks
10% of dementia cases may be attributable to diabetes; reducing blood sugar to control diabetes also lowers risk factors for dementia such as hypertension and high cholesterol. Continue reading
Brain Cell Epigenetics Plays Significant Role in Memory Fitness & Cognition
Epigenetic changes to neurons may be taking place all the time, explaining how ‘identical twins’ don’t always get the same ‘inherited’ illnesses in general or have totally different outcomes regarding dementia, stroke or maintenance of memory fitness. Continue reading

Moderate Drinking May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s, Other Dementias
Drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, especially wine, may lower the risk of dementia, according to a meta-analysis review of previous research published in the journal Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment. Analyzing data from over 365,000 people in 143 studies conducted since … Continue reading

Dopamine Involved In Neuroplasticity Through New Neuron Formation
Dopamine controls the formation of new neurons in the adult brain by switching on genes for new stem cells neuroplasticity, salamander studies show. Such regulation may impact future interventions in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkenson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Continue reading
