A groundbreaking new study reveals that changes to the gut microbiome can change the way the brain works. Humans have the largest relative brain size of any primate, but little is known about how mammals with larger brains evolved to meet the intense energy demands required to support brain growth and maintenance.

A new study analyzed older adults who ate 60 grams of unsalted skin-roasted peanuts every day for 16 weeks. Scientists found that about two servings daily could increase verbal memory and blood flow to the brain.

Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting habits include exercise, stress management and sleep.

In animal studies, keeping brain NAD + levels in balance prevented Alzheimer’s from developing. Even more striking, restoring NAD + balance after the disease was already advanced allowed the brain to repair damage and fully recover cognitive function.

A new method of reversing Alzheimer's shows promise in an animal study, as researchers at University Hospitals restore brain energy molecule NAD+.

This exploratory study in healthy young adults found that plasma sodium levels within the normal clinical range are significantly associated with resting motor threshold, an indirect measure of corticospinal excitability.

A Cedars-Sinai study has identified a previously unknown role for astrocyte cells in how the brain responds to damage and disease. Cedars-Sinai researchers have identified a biological repair process that may eventually contribute to new treatments for spinal cord injuries,
