Neurology researchers have shown that feeding amino acids to brain-injured animals restores their cognitive abilities and may set the stage for the first effective treatment for cognitive impairments suffered by people with traumatic brain injuries. http://www.physorg.com/news179423402.html Medicine & Health Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:40:05 EST news179423402 (PhysOrg.com) -- University of Maine researchers studying cardiovascular risk factors that influence cognitive performance have discovered that diabetics who carry a particular genotype - one or more of the ApoE-e4 alleles - are at greater risk for diminished cognitive capacity than individuals without the gene. http://www.physorg.com/news173638808.html Medicine & Health Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:30:01 EST news173638808 Researchers at the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I of the Heinrich-Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany, investigated the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake, plasma antioxidant micronutrient status and cognitive performance in healthy subjects aged 45 to 102 years. Their results, published in the August issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, indicated higher cognitive performance in individuals with high daily intake of fruits and vegetables. http://www.physorg.com/news171745580.html Medicine & Health Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:30:02 EST news171745580 Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that a compound called NIC5-15, might be a safe and effective treatment to stabilize cognitive performance in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The two investigators, Giulio Maria Pasinetti, M.D., Ph.D. , and Hillel Grossman, M.D., presented Phase IIA preliminary clinical findings at the Alzheimer's Association 2009 International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD) in Vienna on Sunday, July 12. http://www.physorg.com/news166611216.html Medicine & Health Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:56:19 EST news166611216 Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with lower cognitive function in older adults, according to research from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Researchers compared cognitive performance in over 4,150 adults with and without COPD and found that individuals with severe COPD had significantly lower cognitive function than those without, even after controlling for confounding factors such as comorbidities. http://www.physorg.com/news166186706.html Medicine & Health Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:20:03 EST news166186706 U.S. seniors performed significantly better than their counterparts in England on standard tests of memory and cognitive function, according to a new study. http://www.physorg.com/news165125662.html Medicine & Health Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:17:51 EST news165125662 Eating fish -- long considered 'brain food' -- may really be good for the old grey matter, as is a healthy dose of sunshine, new research suggests. http://www.physorg.com/news162107255.html Medicine & Health Thu, 21 May 2009 06:48:14 EST news162107255 Children exposed to a multi-year programme of music tuition involving training in increasingly complex rhythmic, tonal, and practical skills display superior cognitive performance in reading skills compared with their non-musically trained peers, according to a study published today in the journal Psychology of Music, published by SAGE. http://www.physorg.com/news156425306.html Medicine & Health Mon, 16 Mar 2009 12:29:34 EST news156425306 Fifteen-year-old males who ate fish at least once a week displayed higher cognitive skills at the age of 18 than those who it ate it less frequently, according to a study of nearly 4,000 teenagers published in the March issue of Acta Paediatrica. http://www.physorg.com/news155810958.html Medicine & Health Mon, 09 Mar 2009 09:49:36 EST news155810958 Both the developing brain and the aging brain can suffer from lead exposure.
