In this article, I will be investigating the function of the hippocampus as a whole and by its parts. But let me first talk about why it is important to consider the whole picture through abstractions and also to dig into the details with specifics. For the sake of understanding something, many people use abstractions […]

How Mastication (Chewing) Improves Brain Function
Mastication, or chewing, can play a huge part in stimulating our brain for enhanced cognitive function. That’s because there is a large number of neural connections running from our mouth to our brain. Quite a significant part of our brain is dedicated to interpreting somatosensory information and to orchestrating the motor movements of our lips, mouth, […]
How Telomere Length Limits Cell Replication, Life Span & Senescence
Almost everyone wants to live longer lives. But our lifespans are biologically capped at the cellular level. Our cells can only replicate a certain number of times until they are no longer able to. And the key factor that decides how many times a cell can divide is telomere length. What is a Telomere & […]
Guide to Using BDNF to Improve Brain Function
The purpose of this guide is to improve the function of the brain by boosting the level of BDNF in the brain in a healthy manner. I was inspired to write this guide because our brain is regarded by some as one of the most valuable organs. Without a brain, a person is basically a […]
Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which causes a progressive loss of synapses and neurons, gradually leading to cognitive impairment and dementia. One feature or sign of Alzheimer’s Disease is the deposits of amyloid-β (Aβ) plagues outside of the cells. Another feature of Alzheimer’s Disease is the tangling of neurofibrillary hyperphosphorylated tau proteins. Both […]
