In this article I will be investigating the truth about Alzheimer’s Disease. That is, what Alzheimer’s disease is, its symptoms and pathology characteristics, how Alzheimer’s Disease spreads in the brain & how it impairs the brain, the nature of beta amyloids & tau tangles, what causes Alzheimer’s Disease, risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease, and finally […]

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, […]
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 […]
The Significance of BDNF for Learning, Memory, and Cognitive Function
In this article, I will be discussing what BDNF is, the function of BDNF, why BDNF is important for learning & memory, and the relationship BDNF has with hippocampal function, Long-Term Memory, Long-Term Potentiation (LTP), Synapses, and neurogenesis. Although I may not cover every aspect of BDNF in this article, I plan to write a […]
