I'm absolutely delighted to share my newest review on how the #GutMicrobiota influences adult hippocampal #Neurogenesis! @jfcryan @oliviafoleary @Pharmabiotic @BPL_Journal

Our figure👇 shows key pathways by which #GutMicrobiota is known to influence AHN.

Dr. Shepherd et al. reviewed preclinical investigations of environmental enrichment, physical exercise, & #AlzheimersDisease. Only evidence of cognitive improvements was consistent in spatial memory tasks.

Kliesch et al. in #BPLjournal #openaccess issue 7:2 demonstrate that low beta (13-14.5Hz) oscillations at rest predict second-language learning differences & switching from second to native language elicits N400 component.

Zheng et al. report that compared to usual physical activity, 24 weeks of traditional Chinese Baduanjin mind-body exercise increased gray matter volume and improved cognition in older adults with MCI.

Out now in issue 7:2 of the #openaccess #BPLjournal.

Recall this paper from Walsh et al. in #openaccess #BPLjournal issue 7:1?

Although anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids upregulate MERTK, DNA promoter regions did not respond directly to dexamethasone treatment.

Follow us this week to catch up on #openaccess #BPLjournal articles from our recent issue (7:1)

First up, Walsh et al. identify & report elements of the MERTK gene transcriptional promotor, a gene that is dysregulated in #MultipleSclerosis

[Brain Plasticity @BPL_Journal]

In #openaccess #BPLjournal 7:2, Jarrahi et al. linked VO2max measures with connectivity in networks impaired in #Parkinsons. Cardio was linked with increased functional connectivity between somatosensory motor and cognitive networks.

📢we're back with another review paper to promote 📢

In #BPLjournal vol. 3 no. 2, Dr. Hai T. Vo et al. broadly reviewed how the klotho protein effects the brain, including roles in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, and as a therapeutic target.
