Newly Discovered Brain Wave Helps Lock in Memories While We Sleep

Sleep works magic on memory. You might’ve felt these frustrations before: Trying to learn a guitar riff, shoot a free-throw, or nail a difficult phrase in a new language, but despite hours of practice, you’re just not getting it right. Then with a good…

New Research Reveals That Your Brain’s Memory “Resets” Every Night

New Research Reveals That Your Brain’s Memory “Resets” Every Night

A new study from Cornell University reveals that sleep not only consolidates memories but also resets the brain’s memory storage mechanism. This process, governed by specific regions in the hippocampus, allows neurons to prepare for new learning without being overwhelmed. This insight opens potential…

Sleep resets neurons for new memories the next day

While everyone knows that a good night’s sleep restores energy, a new Cornell University study finds it resets another vital function: memory. Learning or experiencing new things activates neurons in the hippocampus, a region of the brain vital for memory. Later, while we sleep,…

Study outlines cases of people successfully treating cancer with fenbendazole protocol

At a time when turbo cancers are alarming doctors and patients around the world thanks to the widespread use of risky COVID-19 vaccines, the need for effective cancer treatments has never been more pressing. Although this disease is notoriously difficult to treat, some people…

Synaptic Quality Key to Age Related Memory Preservation

Synaptic Quality Key to Age Related Memory Preservation

Summary: A recent study reveals that the quality, not the quantity, of synapses in the brain is crucial for preserving memory in older adults. Researchers found that larger dendritic spine head diameters in the temporal cortex correlate with better episodic memory performance, challenging the…

Light and Sound Therapy Maintains Myelin in Alzheimer’s

Light and Sound Therapy Maintains Myelin in Alzheimer’s

Summary: A new study finds that 40Hz light and sound therapy helps maintain myelin, a crucial brain structure, in Alzheimer’s patients. This therapy, which protects neurons and supports brain function, could offer new treatment avenues for neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers discovered that this stimulation enhances…

Study reveals ways in which 40Hz sensory stimulation may preserve brain’s ‘white matter’

Early-stage trials in Alzheimer’s disease patients and studies in mouse models of the disease have suggested positive impacts on pathology and symptoms from exposure to light and sound presented at the “gamma” band frequency of 40 Hz. A new study zeroes in on how…

Researchers discover dual benefits of naturally occurring supplement on sleep and gut health

Credit: Miriam Alonso from Pexels National University of Singapore (NUS) nutritionists have found that 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) supplementation can improve sleep quality in Singaporean older adults, particularly in individuals with poor sleep patterns, and manage their gut microbiome composition. Ensuring good sleep quality is an…

Eating for necessity or pleasure? There is a brain circuit for that

Eating for necessity or pleasure? There is a brain circuit for that

People eat either because they are hungry or for pleasure, even in the absence of hunger. While hunger-driven eating is fundamental for survival, pleasure-driven feeding may accelerate the onset of obesity and associated metabolic disorders. A study published in Nature Metabolism reveals neural circuits…
