  2. Vitamin K2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K2

    Vitamin K2 may have a protective effect on bone mineral density and reduced risk of hip, vertebral and non-vertebral fractures. [11] These effects appear to be accentuated when combined with vitamin D and in the setting of osteoporosis. [1] Research suggests that vitamin K 2 (Menaquinone 7, MK-7]) may reduce the rate and severity of night time ...

  3. Vitamin K - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K

    Vitamin K is a family of structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamers found in foods and marketed as dietary supplements. [1] The human body requires vitamin K for post-synthesis modification of certain proteins that are required for blood coagulation ("K" from Danish koagulation, for "coagulation") or for controlling binding of calcium in bones and other tissues.

  4. Neurobiological effects of physical exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of...

    Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...

  5. Body memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_memory

    Body memory (BM) is a hypothesis that the body itself is capable of storing memories, as opposed to only the brain. While experiments have demonstrated the possibility of cellular memory [ 1 ] there are currently no known means by which tissues other than the brain would be capable of storing memories.

  6. Effect of caffeine on memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_caffeine_on_memory

    On the one hand, caffeine effects appear to be detrimental to short-term memory, working memory included, whereas the effects are somewhat positive for memory over the long term (for example, remembering something better many days later if caffeine was ingested during encoding as well as retrieval, as opposed to no caffeine [7]). Many of the ...

  7. Engram (neuropsychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engram_(neuropsychology)

    For example, the hippocampus is believed to be involved in spatial and declarative memory, as well as consolidating short-term into long-term memory. Studies have shown that declarative memories move between the limbic system, deep within the brain, and the outer, cortical regions. These are distinct from the mechanisms of the more primitive ...

  9. Caffeine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine

    Once in the brain, the principal mode of action is as a nonselective antagonist of adenosine receptors (in other words, an agent that reduces the effects of adenosine). The caffeine molecule is structurally similar to adenosine, and is capable of binding to adenosine receptors on the surface of cells without activating them, thereby acting as a ...
