Filter by:C. sativum could potentially serve as a memory enhancer for university students. It is considered a preferable option to stimulant drugs due to its safety profile. Additionally, C. sativum may have positive effects on anxiety, depression, and sleep quality. However, it is important to note that the current body of research on the effects of oral C. sativum on the brain and nervous system is limited, and further studies are necessary to fully understand its potential benefits. Thus, this study aims to assess the impact of oral C. sativum on memory performance, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in university students.
Subjective memory complaints (SMC), the main cognitive component of which is event memory, is a predictor of Alzheimer's disease in elderly people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) with theta frequency (6 Hz) on the medial prefrontal cortex in the improvement of episodic memory in individuals with SMC in a double blind, randomized, and sham-controlled parallel study. Sixteen participants with SMC received either active or sham theta tACS on the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). EEG was recorded and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) was administered. The aim of the current study was to see if theta tACS over the mPFC can improve event memory in individuals with SMC and thus can be considered a potential therapeutic intervention for this population or not.
The Smart Supplement has 20 vitamins and minerals that have strong track records of demonstrating positive health effects, both physiologically and cognitively. This twelve-week trial will examine the effectiveness and efficacy of Heights Smart Supplement on both biomarkers and subjective experiences from participants.
Providing a combination of synergistic dietary supplements, such as vitamins B6, B12, and folate, as well as curcumin, lemon balm, and American ginseng is hypothesized to promote brain health and aid with brain fog, mental clarity, ability to handle stress, mood, focus, and productivity, as well as promote overall well-being.
The purpose of this study is to determine if new varieties of fruits grown in Scotland which can adapt better to climate change namely, honeyberries and cherries, have the same health benefits as established fruits such as raspberries. To do this we will investigate the effects of consuming honeyberries, cherries, and raspberries on short term changes in blood glucose, and on short term memory.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro conduct a single-arm intervention trial to investigate the efficacy of a music-based group exercise program for community-dwelling older adults. Up to forty participants will be recruited to participate in a music-based light-to-moderate intensity group exercise program for 20 weeks (30 - 40 min/day, up to 6 days/week), which is designed for older adults with or without functional limitations to exercise with chairs for the improvement of aerobic capacity, upper and lower body strength, and balance control at a gradually increasing pace. During the exercise sessions, participants will be trained to move in time with music playlists in synchronous tempos. Primary outcomes are cognitive performance, mobility, and health-related quality of life measured before and after the intervention. Secondary outcomes are adherence to the exercise program as a potential mediator of the treatment.
To determine the effects of moderate intensity exercise and caffeine on working memory in deprived caffeine consumers.
The goal of this project is to develop probiotic dietary supplements intended for the elderly, which can modify the composition of the intestinal microbiota typically occurring in the aging population. According to currently held scientific knowledge, it is postulated that the probiotics-induced normalization of the physiological axis in the brain-intestinal microbiota affects the activity of the nervous system. Thus, normalization of this axis should lead to observable improvements in cognitive functions and quality of life.
From the change in self-regulation, memory is inhibited, allowing individuals to suppress or ignore unwanted or outdated associations and thus help to filter information relevant to dietary goals from irrelevant information. Provoking changes in neuroplasticity and cortical excitability contribute to the regulation of neural activity. Both could be modified by applying direct electrical current to the sensorimotor cortex, with polarity/current-dependent results, and their effect would last for hours after the end of stimulation. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), translated into Portuguese as Estimulação Transcraniana por Corrente Contínua (ETCC) is a neuromodulating tool in which a low-intensity electrical current is applied to the scalp to modulate neuronal activity.
This study is a randomized control study to determine the impact of a tailored, web-based mindfulness program to reduce anxiety and increase the quality of life in older adults experiencing dementia-related fears, relative to a conventional meditation program.
