Research Worth Sharing, March 2024 Edition
Organ-specific aging, a blood-based test for brain tumors, avoiding bananas in smoothies, stair-climbing tests for frailty, and omega-3 intake and CVD
Is the frequency of menopausal symptoms an early barometer for later-in-life brain health?
More than “bothersome”: Frequent menopausal hot flashes during sleep are associated with greater white matter hyperintensity volume
Could a psoriasis drug find new purpose in treating alcohol use disorder?
Recent pilot research suggests that the psoriasis drug apremilast may have promise in curbing excessive drinking in those with alcohol use disorder.
Improving memory with transcranial neuromodulation
Research shows that noninvasive neuromodulation can improve performance in memory tasks. Is this technique simply a research tool, or is it a therapy of the future?
#263 ‒ Concussions and head trauma: symptoms, treatment, and recovery | Micky Collins, Ph.D.
“If you bring me a patient with concussion, I can pretty much tell you I can get that patient better. There are highly effective treatments with this injury.” —Micky Collins
#262 – AMA #49: Heart rate recovery, strength training, rucking, kidney function, and brain health
“[Heart rate recovery] is one of the metrics that we should care about just as we care about VO2 max and just as we care about resting heart rate.” —Peter Attia
#257 ‒ Cognitive decline, neurodegeneration, and head injuries: mitigation and prevention strategies, supplements, and more | Tommy Wood, M.D., Ph.D.
“If you’re trying to maintain a basic set of cognitive functions, [it is important] to actively work on ways to increase headroom, increase absolute capacity throughout the lifespan. Because at some point capacity will decrease, but you want to push that out as far as you can.” —Tommy Wood
#251 – AMA #46: Optimizing brain health: Alzheimer’s disease risk factors, APOE, prevention strategies, and more
“The bottom line here is the earlier you were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the higher your risk of dementia.” —Peter Attia
#249 ‒ How the brain works, Andrew’s fascinating backstory, improving scientific literacy, and more | Andrew Huberman, Ph.D.
“I want to communicate the beauty and utility of biology. I want to do that by being a teacher and a storyteller.” —Andrew Huberman
#236 ‒ Neurodegenerative disease: pathology, screening, and prevention | Kellyann Niotis, M.D.
“When you think of brain health, it’s not just the cognitive piece, but it’s the movement piece too.” ‒ Kellyann Niotis
