Re: Brain Training Study
I have searched the medical literature and came back with the conclusion that no brain training exercise prevents Alzheimer's. Only proven methods are: 1. Physical exercises 2. Die and 3. Stress Reduction There is lots of evidence that physical exercise creates new neurons and connections. This has ...

Eat your colorful Fruits and Veggies for your Brain!
A very large study of old people shows that colorful fruits and vegetables slows the cognitive decline as we age. See the research study here- https://n.neurology.org/content/early/2021/07/28/WNL.0000000000012454 Also a summary of the paper appears in New York Times - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08...

Re: "ApoE4 does not influence brain function at young age"
APOE4 does in fact influence the brain function - BUT in a positive way. I had posted a paper while back about increased cognitive ability of people with APOE4. Here is the abstract and the paper citation. Abstract: A potential candidate gene that could contribute to the education process is the apo...

Re: APOE4 people smarter?
Here is the original paper's abstract. A potential candidate gene that could contribute to the education process is the apolipoprotein E (apo E) gene that has been shown to correlate with memory function and memory decline. We measured apo E polymorphism in groups of probands with different levels o...
