The article describes how aging-related changes in the gut microbiome can influence brain signaling through the vagus nerve, leading to memory decline, and how altering gut bacteria or stimulating gut-brain pathways can restore memory in aging mice. It also identifies a specific bacterium, Parabacteroides goldsteinii, whose byproducts trigger local gut inflammation that impairs memory, and discusses potential translating approaches and remaining questions for humans.

The topic highlights how peripheral body processes interact with brain function, offering insights into mechanisms of cognitive aging. It also illustrates how interventions targeting the gut or gut-brain communication could modulate memory, underscoring the interconnectedness of physiological systems in psychology.

Last retoot… it’s not meant like that, but still advice reads too easily like condescending dismissal of everything I’ve done (indeed “tried”).

Seven years of chronic fatigue at home almost alone, under stimulation is right. It’s why the daily writing hashtag prompts and fandom love are what move me - dopamine, not wellness tips.

Burnout of the nervous system too, which is slowly showing glimmers of interest in things I used to love and is otherwise perhaps more defrosted than I thought (see “dorsal shutdown” and “functional freeze”, and miss me even more with pushy advice. I’ve done tons for it and still very little audio stuff has worked. Somatic exercise too).

If it doesn’t come from me, why would it move me to act.

I might be less annoyed if all this and autistic masking didn’t get in the way of friendship, romance, hobbies, work, people even realising I have a brain.

Tu cuerpo tiene un cable físico real que conecta tu cerebro con tu corazón y tus intestinos. Este es conocido como Nervio Vago, y de seguro ya has oído hablar de él. Un nervio que impide que el estrés te consuma vivo.

La ciencia ha confirmado que actúa como un "freno de mano" en tu sistema nervioso.

Began the nervous system guy’s Unlimited course. More of similar ie him talking, somehow deeply relaxing to shift things more than most I’ve heard all these years (the frequency of the background sounds? I’m not sure how it works). Abundance Alchemist is the name.

😫 Stress doesn’t just live in your mind - it lives in your nervous system. And at the center of that system is one powerful pathway: the vagus nerve
