Omega-3 are essential fatty acids that must be obtained through diet, such as fish and seeds. The maintenance of their levels is fundamental for the correct functioning of the CNS. Its administration stimulated neurogenesis in the hippocampus of adult and elderly rats. Omega-3 deficiency may be associated with memory deficits and reduced hippocampal neuroplasticity. Studies have shown int…
Abusive and chronic consumption of ethanol is one of the major risk factors to health. It´s accounting for 4% of all diseases in the world. There is evidence that excessive consumption of ethanol cause permanent neurological damage in animals and humans, leading to the decline of cognitive functions such as learning and memory. These problems can be directly related neurodegeneration and …
