BDNF Quickly Understood

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, is a nerve growth protein (neurotrophin) crucial to the development and maintenance of the human brain. When we explore and learn, BDNF is at work, restructuring the brain, growing new dendrite branches (Horch & Katz, 2002), and in turn, these activities themselves promote BDNF expression, enhancing mood and subsequent learning. BDNF and mitochondria…

When I share this with others, they often ask, “Is that safe?” I usually respond, “Probably not,” and inwardly ponder, Is life itself safe? I explain, “He doesn’t want to leave his house,” adding, “We’re trying to help him stay there for as long as possible.” Many express their…

Link Between Sugar Intake and Alzheimer's Risk

Research suggests a strong link between high-sugar diets and an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Consuming high amounts of sugar can lead to insulin resistance in the brain. This condition can impair the brain’s ability to clear neuronal debris. Clearing neuronal debris is a crucial process for preventing neurodegeneration . A high-sugar diet has also…

Alzheimer's: A new strategy to prevent neurodegeneration

A future treatment for Alzheimer disease may involve a nasal spray. Researchers at Università Cattolica and Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS have discovered that by inhibiting the brain enzyme S-acyltransferase (zDHHC) through a nasal-spray drug, they can counteract the cognitive decline and brain damage typical of the disease. The study has been led by Professor Claudio…
