Scientists grow human brain cells in rats to study brain development and diseases

October 20, 2022 -

"Many disorders such as autism and schizophrenia are likely uniquely human, but the human brain certainly has not been very accessible," said Dr. Sergiu Pasca, senior author of the study.

The study, published online on October 12 in Nature, demonstrates a method for performing experiments that would otherwise be invasive, difficult or impossible.

The said procedure meant that researchers can now study how brain cells from patients with neuropsychiatric disorders ...

SHOCK STUDY: Covid jab spike proteins persist in brain tissue, potentially causing long-term brain damage

May 09, 2023 -

Researchers out of Germany and Denmark evaluated brain tissue samples both in mouse models and post-mortem humans, looking for the presence and distribution of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. They specifically looked at the skull-meninges-brain axis.

They found that spike protein from the shots accumulates in the skull marrow, brain meninges, and brain parenchyma, further explaining that the "injection of the spike protein alone caused cell death in the brain, highlighting a direct ...

Energy drinks cause BRAIN DRAIN: here’s how

2 months ago -

The answer is that these chemical-laden beverages are not that safe after all – and here's why.

For one, most of them are loaded with caffeine, which Omar Eliwa, a registered pharmacists in Wisconsin, says "gives a false source of energy."

"You're getting more than what your brain can take," Eliwa says. "It will be detrimental in the long-term to memory, the aging of the cells, depletion of nutrients, and it makes you not want to eat, so it affects metabolism as well....

Dr. Bryan Ardis: NICOTINE can “CURE brain tumors”

June 20, 2023 -

He made these claims during a backstage discussion with David and Stacy Whited, the hosts of the "Flyover Conservative" podcast, at the Miami leg of Clay Clark's 2023 ReAwaken America Tour. Ardis cited one study that found 36 different animal venoms in patients infected with the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).

"During this [COVID-19] pandemic, they're taking the exact same venoms, injecting them into mammals and seeing what they do inside of the patients," he told the Whiteds....

Choline: An essential nutrient for brain and heart health

April 10, 2023 -

According to a study published in the journal Nutritional and Functional Foods for Healthy Aging, choline and B vitamins share a key role in multiple metabolic pathways involved in the nervous system's structural and functional integrity. In particular, these nutrients are required for optimizing brain energy metabolism, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, regulating the transfer of information between brain neurons and preventing vascular damage.

Choline also ...

Study: Turmeric component ar-turmerone can support brain regeneration

November 11, 2022 -

Turmeric has been of great interest in recent years, especially its active component curcumin, which gives it a rich golden hue. However, curcumin alone is not enough to explain the medicinal capabilities of this spice as a whole.

A study has found that another important component of turmeric, called aromatic turmerone (ar-turmerone), can be a promising candidate to support regeneration of the brain. The study by German researchers evaluated the effects of this compound ...

6 Natural ways to increase blood flow to your brain

a month ago -

Your brain is one of three vital organs that consume the most oxygen. Despite comprising only two percent of your total body weight, your brain consumes about 18.4 percent of the oxygen that enters your body, making it the second highest oxygen consumer after the liver, which uses about 20.4 percent. Your brain needs plenty of oxygen because in order to generate energy, it relies almost exclusively on a form of metabolism that requires oxygen. Your brain cells, or neurons, also ...

4 Science-backed benefits of dark chocolate for the brain

2 months ago -

According to studies, foods that are rich in refined carbohydrates and/or added fats are like tobacco, meaning they trigger strong urges or cravings due to their effects on the brain. In fact, highly processed foods like white and milk chocolate have been found to cause the release of dopamine, the brain chemical associated with rewards and pleasure, at levels similar to nicotine and alcohol.

However, out of the many different types of chocolate (e.g., milk chocolate, white ...

Gut bacteria can influence your mood, thoughts, behavior and brain

August 02, 2023 -

Reputable scientists like Dr. Michael Gershon, dubbed the father of neurogastroenterology, believe that humans have a second brain in the gut.

With the brain and the gut working in a bi-direction, they could affect each other's functions and significantly impact anxiety, cognition, depression and stress, as shown in the study published in the journal Nutrition Reviews.

This explains why antibiotics that disturb the gut microbial ecosystem can cause neuropsychiatric ...

Radiofrequency radiation linked to brain damage and Alzheimer’s, experts warn

March 27, 2023 -

The peer-reviewed article was published in the journal Annals of Clinical and Medical Case Reports.

The researchers urged the authorities to listen to other experts from the RF scientific community by establishing a "more stringent regulatory framework" on RF radiation and postponing the rollout of 5G technologies, along with smart meters and 5G cell towers, until "qualified scientists independent of industry" have had enough time to thoroughly review the risks of the ...

Diet rich in polyphenols can boost brain function and mood

October 21, 2022 -

What you need is to eat foods that are high in beneficial compounds called polyphenols.

Polyphenols are found in plant foods and can help reduce oxidative stress while improving "synaptic plasticity." This can make you mentally sharper and even helps promote a good mood.

Chronic negative emotional states and poor brain function can result in more serious neurodegenerative diseases. Polyphenols can help address those issues.

According to a 2021 study published ...

New study: mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can cause brain diseases

October 13, 2022 -

In a pre-print study published Aug. 16 in the journal Diseases, Dr. Stephanie Seneff and her colleagues wrote that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein acts like a prion. This protein can transmit its misfolded shape onto normal prions, causing neurodegenerative diseases that wreak havoc in the human brain.

She cited "compelling evidence" showing that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein contains amino acid sequences previously established as prion-like proteins. These proteins responsible ...

UNESCO warns against BRAIN CHIPS being used as “personality-altering weapons”

July 24, 2023 -

The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) issued the warning through its International Bioethics Committee (IBC). According to the IBC, neurotechnology could lead to "new possibilities of monitoring and manipulating the human mind through neuro-imaging [and] personality-altering [programs]."

Because of this, the UN agency is now strategizing on a worldwide "ethical framework" to protect humanity from the potential abuses of brain chip technology....
