Filter by:This study seeks to understand the neural, cognitive and behavioral effects of low doses of psilocybin administered in the form of dried mushroom material (0.5 g of Psilocybe cubensis) consumed in natural settings following a placebo-controlled double-blind experimental design.
Oral ATP disodium (adenosine 5'- triphosphate disodium) is a commercially available product available alone and as a constituent in a number of sports supplements that is purported to maintain ATP levels and improve performance during high-intensity exercise. Acute deficits in cognitive performance have also been reported in both young adults and children following high-intensity exercise; however, the effects of supplemental ATP on cognitive performance has not been studied. Goals: 1. To investigate the effect of ATP supplementation versus. placebo on mood, reaction time and cognitive performance before and after an acute bout of fatiguing exercise. 2. To investigate the effect of ATP supplementation versus. placebo on anaerobic performance.

Childhood obesity prevention efforts are needed in the United States, especially for families with low income. Educating parents and caregivers on simple lifestyle and affordable home environment changes is an effective strategy to improve health outcomes for the entire family. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether HomeStyles-2, a nutrition education and childhood obesity prevention program for families with children in middle childhood (ages 6 to 11 years), motivates parents to shape their home environments and weight-related lifestyle practices to be more supportive of optimal health and weight status of their children aged 6-11 years more so than those in the control condition. The study will include the experimental group and an attention control group who will engage in a nutrition education program, Eat Healthy Be Active, that is equal in nonspecific treatment effects but does not overlap on topics covered in HomeStyles-2. This study will be implemented in Florida's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) program, which provides nutrition education and obesity prevention supports for individuals with low income who are receiving or eligible for SNAP benefits. Nutrition Educators will be randomized to the experimental or attention control condition, and will lead participants through virtual, group-based nutrition education series. The following data will be collected: sociodemographic characteristics of the participant and child; child and parent health status; parent weight-related cognitions; weight-related behaviors of the participant and child; and weight-related characteristics of the home environment. Enrollment for this study will begin late-2021.
The number of dementia patients increased with aging population. People with subjective memory complaints or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may have a high risk of developing dementia. Cognitive /memory training programs have shown the potential positive effects for improving or maintaining the cognitive progression. However, the impact of those cognitive progressions on functional ability and quality of life is not well understood. In addition, it appears to have large variability responsiveness among trained subjects. Most studies did not examine the individual difference associated with training. The major aim will evaluate the cognitive training programs on functional ability and quality of life in older adults. The results will be expected to understand the effectiveness of the computerized virtual reality training, improving or maintaining cognition, physical and psychosocial function, enhancing quality of life, and reducing the risk of developing disability even conversion into dementia in later life.
Energy drinks consumption has varied effects on the hemodynamic, blood glucose levels, brain functions and memory. The use of energy drinks is pervasive and especially young adults consume it often as binge drinking. The negative health effects of excessive use of energy drinks has been reported in the scientific literature. Often energy drinks are consumed to enhance alertness and cognition improvement. In this trial, the investigators intend to compare the effects of a widely available energy drink brand in the country with the usual black tea with 5gm sugar and milk. The aims of this study is: 1. To determine the effect of consumption of energy drinks on hemodynamics parameters. 2. To determine the effect of consumption of energy drinks on short term memory 3. To determine the effect of consumption of energy drinks on vigilance in adults 4. To determine the effect of consumption of energy drinks on blood glucose in adults 5. To analyze the effect of energy drink on perception in adults
This study aims to investigate the acute and chronic effects of an 8 week probiotic intervention (Ecologic Barrier©) on mood and cognitive outcomes in healthy adults.
The goal of this study is to test the feasibility of launching a personalized digital health assessment and remediation program for the older adults in senior living communities based upon an initial characterization of these abilities. Evidence of feasibility here using these unique methodological approaches would provide empirical evidence supporting the basis for a larger-scale implementation of such digital health technologies into less controlled senior settings.
The research study will test the effects of Q CAN PLUS powder on the immune, inflammatory and cognitive functions.
The objective of this open-label, exploratory study is to investigate the efficacy of BDNF Essentials® on cognition in a healthy adult population with self-reported memory complaints. As there is a dearth of available literature on BDNF in this study population, the current study is designed to understand the role of BDNF to inform potential future studies.
