ω-3 #PUFA for Secondary Prevention of White Matter Lesions and Neuronal Integrity Breakdown in Older AdultsA Randomized Clinical Trial

aledopress

Importance  Older adults with lower intake and tissue levels of long-chain ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6) have more brain white matter lesions (WMLs), an association suggesting that small-vessel ischemic disease, a major contributor to the development of dementia, including Alzheimer disease, may be preventable through ω-3 treatment.Objective  To… Continue reading ω-3 #PUFA for Secondary Prevention of White Matter Lesions and Neuronal Integrity Breakdown in Older AdultsA Randomized Clinical Trial

N,N-dimethyltryptamine compound found in the hallucinogenic #tea ayahuasca, regulates adult neurogenesis in vitro and in vivo

N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a component of the ayahuasca brew traditionally used for ritual and therapeutic purposes across several South American countries. Here, we have examined, in vitro and vivo, the potential neurogenic effect of DMT. Our results demonstrate that DMT administration activates the main adult neurogenic niche, the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of… Continue reading N,N-dimethyltryptamine compound found in the hallucinogenic #tea ayahuasca, regulates adult neurogenesis in vitro and in vivo
