How Inflammation Causes Fatigue
A fascinating new animal study has uncovered a key mechanism that short-circuits energy production by reducing the ability of nerves to function correctly. This study has profound implications for health, as well as the prevention of disease and early death.Read More: Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, glial cells, Repair Plus, Super B Complex
Glial Cell Function Vital for Learning
A major breakthrough in our understanding of nerve cell function opens the door for strategies to improve learning. Central to the issue is the function of the glial cells within your brain (also called astrocytes). For the very first time bi-directional communication between glial cells and nerve transmitting cells has been identified, showing how glial cells regulate learning. This discovery is of extreme importance to everyone.Read More: glial cells, learning
Helping Glial Cells will Revolutionize Prevention & Treatment of Alzheimer’s
In the face of a baby boomer population certain to have an epidemic of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s there is very good news on the cutting edge of science for those interested in being proactive on the topic. The rapid developments in our understanding of neurobiology are causing scientists to refocus their efforts on the healthy function of glial cells in order to maintain and restore cognitive health.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alzheimer's, amyloid beta, glial cells, Lymphatic function, PhosphatidylSerine PS
Abnormal Brain Structure in Schizophrenia
The post-mortem analysis of the brains of patients with schizophrenia compared to normal brain shows severe dysregulation in the matrix outside of brain cells that holds them together in key regions of the subconscious brain associated with learning, memory, and the processing of stress. The finding is the first of its kind and it essentially means that the roads and highways that hold brain cells in position are at least as important as the neurotransmitter status that up to this time has received the lion’s share of attention.Read More: amygdala, chondroitin, Chondroitin Plus, Chondroitin Sulfate, entorhinal cortex, glial cells, Schizophrenia
Berries for Brain Protection
Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc. – America is a berry rich country. These wonder foods are well known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties due for the most part to the substances that give them color, polyphenols, or more specifically anthocyanins. A new array of emerging gene science is demonstrating that the protective effects of these nutrients to your brain go far beyond their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and are intimately involved with the genes that regulate the natural defense systems in your brain.Read More: BDNF, Blackberries, Blueberries, brain anti-aging, brain inflammation, glial cells, neuro protection, strawberries
Fisetin for Neuro-Protection
Fisetin is a unique polyphenol flavonoid that has demonstrated a high level of neuro-protection along with improvement of memory. A standardized extract of fisetin is now undergoing extensive scientific studies by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to prove its value for general brain health. A patent has already been issued, entitled "Methods of Using Flavonoids to Enhance Memory." It appears that fisetin is another useful nutrient tool in the preservation of cognitive well being.Read More: amyloid beta protein, brain inflammation, fisetin, glial cells, neuro protection
The New Understanding of a Properly Functioning Brain
Perception and consequent understanding is relative. The state-of-the-art understanding of the human brain function just two years ago is now outdated. Way back then, we were just getting better at tracking the flow of neurotransmitters and the function of glial cells. Now we have diffusion tensor imaging and we can perceive for the first time the connections in real time between various brain regions. Not surprisingly, a whole new understanding of the brain is emerging.Read More: brain networks, glial cells, network speed, plasticity
DHA Regulates Glial Cells to Reduce Nerve Damage & Boost Nerve Rejuvenation
Activation of your brain is required for optimal brain function. Unfortunately, some types of brain activation induce an excitotoxic and inflammatory chain reaction of damage. So how do you have healthy brain activation without adverse brain activation? Take DHA.Read More: DHA, glial cells, nerve protection
