Vitamins for your Neurons!

[Jesmcd2]

Ok, so I think it's been a good long while since this subject has come up, and I got this article. neurosciencenews.com/vitami...

~Summary: All-trans retinoic acid, a vitamin A derivative, induces synaptic plasticity in human cortical neurons.

Source: eLife

The brain has an enormous capacity to adapt to its environment. This ability to continuously learn and form new memories thanks to its malleability, is known as brain plasticity.~

Now what do you think about the brain being able to rewire itself? I'm a big believer in it!! I have to be, thank you George!

If you can't go one way, find another!😂🤣

What's your take?

I’ll send this to my mom and see if I can convince her to fry some liver for me to “help my brain” 🤣

Ick! Just ick! 😐😂🤣🤗💕🌠

I love liver ~ calf liver is my favorite! You’re lucky to have your mom prepare it for you. I have discovered that they sell it frozen here so I can have it in the freezer ready for consumption anytime!

[kdali in reply to carolek572]

Yum! I don’t think I’ve tried a liver I haven’t liked yet 🤔 Mom only makes chicken livers, and I’ve loved it since I was little 🥰

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to kdali]

Chicken liver is okay.

My father and I would have liver of the month when I was growing up. We would try any liver available at the butchers. We were the only ones that would do that in the family. I so miss those days...

Aww, that’s a lovely memory 🥰

It’s true. , I am now left handed, it’s taken a couple of years to perfect, but it’s working. 👍

There ya go! Retrain your brain! Good job jimeka ! 🍫🍫🍫🦋🤗💕🌠

[jimeka in reply to Jesmcd2]

Though it was thought I was ambidextrous during my life, after all this time with MS, that has been proven to be a slovenly observation! HA! With MS combined with right sided RA, I had to learn how to do "it all over again". Cleaning from bathroom activities has been the Hardest Job to learn. Geez. Now I am trying to be a better handwriter...that is not working so well. My writing now looks like a writhing snakes. So I don't...I type and at least that gives me a chance to communicate!

I am grateful to all of you to know how similar our problems are. I really appreciate your ingenious solutions. Hugs, Bodega

Interesting research but I think it might have a way to go and we'll probably all be dead and buried before it comes to being something really applicable - the study was done with "...human cortical slices prepared from neurosurgical resections...".

I have images which pop into my head of people going to bed and opening the top of their cranium and popping their brains into a soaking solution over night - like people putting their false teeth into a bedside glass until morning

[goatgal in reply to Frances_B]

Indeed, interesting research on dead people's brains. As you say, a long way from being applicable tomorrow...unless we could take our brains out and soak them overnight in a bedside basin. Oh, to be a cartoonist!

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to goatgal]

That did remind me to get ahold the brain place! 🤣😂 But hey naysayers!! Ya never know! 🤣😂🤗💕🌠

there is a saying "if you can't go right, go left"

[Jesmcd2 CommunityAmbassador in reply to pamgarner]

I just plow through it! 😁🤣😂🤗💕🌠

Three lefts make a right, pamgarner ?
