A neurodegenerative disorder that donepezil is used to treat.
Laboratory and animal studies have repeatedly shown that honey’s polyphenols and flavonoids possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and some neuroprotective activities that can improve memory-related m...
Public evidence about Donald Trump’s cognitive assessments comprises a small set of official disclosures and media reporting: a 2018 Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) reportedly scored 30/30 (annou...
A widely circulated “golden honey” memory cure — often packaged as a simple honey-plus-plant recipe and presented in slick ads with footage of Dr. Sanjay Gupta — is a scam that uses doctored clips and...
The product marketed as “Memo Genesis” (and variants like MemoGenesis) sits between two competing narratives: vendor sites claim an evidence-based, ingredient-backed cognitive enhancer , while multipl...
Honey contains antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds that show neuroprotective signals in laboratory and animal models relevant to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the antibacterial ...
The neurodegenerative syndrome long observed on Guam—called lytico‑bodig or ALS/Parkinsonism‑Dementia Complex (ALS‑PDC)—manifests symptoms that overlap clinically with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s...
Honey-derived antioxidants—chiefly flavonoids and phenolic acids—interact with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology at multiple molecular nodes: they reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, can interf...
Peer-reviewed preclinical research—cell culture and many animal studies—consistently shows honey and isolated honey-derived polyphenols exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-amyloid effects th...
Existing dementia drugs like donepezil produce small-to-moderate, short‑to‑medium term symptomatic benefits on cognition, global clinical state and daily function, but high‑quality evidence that they ...
Manuka honey has attracted peer-reviewed attention mostly in laboratory and animal studies and in narrative/systematic reviews that group it with other honeys for potential neuroprotective actions, bu...
Medical experts and public-health organizations have pushed back decisively against social-media claims tying Ben Carson to cures or dramatic reversals of dementia, emphasizing there is no proven cure...
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief, one‑page, 30‑point screening test developed to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia, designed to be administered in roughly 10...
Laboratory and animal studies report consistent neuroprotective effects of honey—reduced oxidative damage, less neuronal death in hippocampal regions, and improved memory in rodents—while human eviden...
Current scientific reporting finds consistent preclinical evidence that honey and certain honey-derived compounds can influence biological pathways implicated in Alzheimer’s disease—oxidative stress, ...
Lecanemab and donanemab are monoclonal anti‑amyloid antibodies approved for early Alzheimer’s disease that produce modest slowing of decline but carry important and common safety risks—most notably am...
A concise panel of blood tests can detect several nutrient and metabolic abnormalities that are known to impair short‑term memory—most notably vitamin B12 (and its functional markers), iron status, vi...
Clinical research to date does not provide robust, conclusive evidence that honey prevents or reverses cognitive decline in humans: the bulk of scientific data are preclinical—cell and animal studies—...
Honey is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids that show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and some anti-amyloid effects in laboratory and animal models of brain disease, and spices such as cinnamon and gin...
Lipophilicity determines which beta‑blockers cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB): highly lipophilic agents such as propranolol — and to a lesser extent metoprolol and carvedilol — penetrate brain tiss...
Clinical evidence that honey or honey‑derived compounds improve cognitive decline in humans is extremely limited and mixed: most high‑quality data are preclinical, while human studies are few, small, ...
