We had been thinking that creatine served to train better. It turns out that the greatest benefit was in the brain

by

Creatine is the star sports supplement and one of the most studied. As with the coffee and caffeineis surrounded by Myths And we have been investigating its benefits for decades when practicing sports. AND studies More recent have placed up to creatine supplementation by pointing out that the muscles are not the only ones that benefit from their effects. The brain also appreciates it. Physical performance. Creatine is a nitrogen compound that occurs mainly in the liver and that humans also obtain through the consumption of meat and fish. Although there is controversial studies in this regardcreatine really is stored in the form of phosphocreatine, acting as a booking Immediate energy. This means that, when the muscles are subject to intense efforts such as a sprint or a weightlifting, phosphocreatine acts to regenerate the essential energy molecule for muscle contraction. This allows muscles to maintain high performance for a little longer. It also increases cell hydration and stimulates protein synthesis that leads to cell growth. Enhancing the brain. Being such an studied supplement implies that numerous ways have been found in which creatine benefits our body, reducing inflammation, oxidative stress and muscle catabolism. And, along the way, they have found benefits additional that have not to do with the growth of our most ‘visible’ muscles. It is increasingly recognized for its general health benefits, including cognitive function and healthy aging. Although the brain is not a muscle, it also stores creatine and can benefit from its energy effects, such as supplying energy quickly to neurons. A applicationfor example, it is the good brain function in times of lack of sleep. Essential. This is something observed in several investigations, being carried out by the team of Dr. Richard Kreider, director of the Exercise and Sports Nutrition Laboratory of the Texas A&M Universityone of the last to contribute to the conversation about its benefits. According to Kreider, the regenerative paper and as a rapid “fuel” is relevant for both muscle and brain. “When the body is stressed, as in exercise or in metabolic conditions such as those caused by some diseases, phosphocreatine is needed to maintain cellular energy,” says Kreider. Neuroprotection. Others studies They point to added benefits, such as acting as a neuroprotective, helping in the recovery of brain injuries and showing potential to reduce mitochondrial dysfunction, key factor in neurodegenerative diseases. It also helps reduce the feeling of tiredness, maintaining alert and performance in demanding cognitive tasks. How much? One of the big questions when creatine begins to be taken how much is necessary to fulfill its function correctly. It has been experienced with several doses and there is a kind of agreement that would have to be taken between 0.07 and 0.1 grams per kilo of weight per day to optimize physical performance. For a 70 kilos person, this is equivalent to 5-7 grams per day. Kreider fits those accounts by resorting to that ‘cycling’ practice that was recommended a few years ago. Thus, the researcher indicates that about 20 grams would have to be taken daily for a week to “help load the muscle”, but later it could be taken between 5 and 10 grams a day to maintain creatine reserves that contribute both to the muscle and the brain. In Vegans and vegetariansIn addition, it is essential because for a omnivore It is difficult to fill the phosphocreatine reserves with your diet, not consuming meat or fish the difficulty is even greater. Security. Due to the myths that we commented before (such as hair loss or that it is an anabolic substance, among many other discharges about creatine), it is easy for people to not trust this supplement. Kreider states that “there is absolutely no data that supports any negative side effect reported anecdotally on creatine,” reaffirming that it is “safe and important to all, not only for bodybuilders and athletes.” Images | Xataka, Scientifanimations In Xataka | Tell me what color is your banana and I will tell you what it is for: the importance of maturation point at nutritional level

We knew that breakfast nuts and other nuts was positive for our brain. What we didn’t know was to what extent

by

Nuts are a nutritious food and considered especially beneficial for our brain. The tests are accumulating, and the last study on this food gives us new details about its value. A push for the brain. The team responsible for the new study He observed an improvement In brain function among young people who consumed nuts at breakfast. The study gives us new clues when understanding the relationship between the popular dry fruit and cognitive performance. “This study helps reinforce the case of nuts as food for the brain. A handful of nuts with breakfast can give young adults an extra mental when they need to perform the maximum performance. It is especially exciting that such a simple dietary change can make a measurable difference in cognitive performance,” stood out in a press release Claire Williams, co -author of the study. Delayed effect. The team observed that on the occasion they consumed breakfast with nuts, the participants achieved faster reaction times throughout the day. They also observed An improvement in memory, but this did not occur in the early hours after breakfast but later in the day. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Food & Function. THEORY AND PRACTICE. Through the EEG, the team observed that changes in the neural activity that suggested that nuts can be more effective in their aid to cognitive performance when we face mental tasks that suppose a challenges. For their part, blood tests showed changes in glucose levels and fatty acids, which could help better performance. Explain what nutrients and what biochemical mechanisms are the protagonists of this connection between nuts, and brain is essential when establishing a causal relationship. The team responsible for the new study suggests that A variety of nutrientsamong them the omega 3 fatty acids, proteins and polyphenols, would be responsible for this cognitive “push”. A study with limitations. The small sample implies a limitation when it comes to extrapolaring the results of the study, however it adds to a growing evidence that indicates that nuts (and other nuts) have the ability to improve our cognitive performance. According to Explain the responsible teamThe new study complements the existing literature focusing on the effects of short -term nut consumption, on the day in which they are consumed. They also point out that more studies will still be necessary to determine the relationship between nut consumption and any improvement in cognitive performance.

The brain works twice what we believed as we slept. At least in regard to memoirs

by

The dream continues to be one of the great enigmas for those who study it, either from the perspective of evolution or from the point of view of medicine. We know that the dream It is important For our physiological and psychological well -being. For decades of study we have been discovering some of the things that make dream more than a simple period of rest. And we continue to discover new details. Preparing the lesson. A new study has observed That, during sleep, hippocampus neurons are predisposed for learning what will come in the next day. The study now allows us to understand new ways in which sleep becomes a fundamental factor in the consolidation of our memories in memory. Sleep and memory. The dream is essential for rest, but we know it is more than that. During the time we remain sleeping our brain goes through a series of stages in which it alternates periods of greater and lesser activity in some of which we also dream. We know for example that during these hours the brain performs some “maintenance tasks”, such as a kind of Internal cleaning. We also know that the dream is key in memory, but we used to think that this happened a posteriorithat is, that the brain took advantage of this period to “strengthen” the memories and neuronal connections that support them. The new study indicates that the opposite could also be true. Greases. The study He noticed In the so -called swab, interconnections that allow something apparently abstract such as memory to be reflected in our brain. These greases are built by a series of specialized neurons, the engagle cells. The new study detected a new population of neurons of this type to which he called “grease-be Cells”, A sort of“ pre-training cells ”. This group of neurons showed increasing synchronization during post-learning sleep, Explain the team. However, what the team detected is that after this, this population of cells did was encode a new (future) learning experience. New techniques. As explained by the team responsible for the study, the analysis was carried out by resorting to advanced image systems that combined visualization through calcium with labeling of the ENGRAMA cells. This allowed the team to measure neuronal mice activity before, during and after learning experiences. After detecting the curious phenomenon of the “pre-training cells”, the team created a neural network model to simulate the activity of the hippocampus. This model allowed to study the adjustment mechanisms that interconnected neurons and sleep and how they were essential in the appearance of this population of neurons. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nature Communications. Double work. This process of strengthening structures that will constitute new memories is produced simultaneously and without prejudice to the consolidation process a posteriori described in previous analysis and also observed In the recent study.

If you think you are not the same person after a long shift, the science of being right. The reason is in the brain

by

Fatigue can affect us in different ways and the different contexts, it is something that we have surely perceived in our own meats, trying to remain awake at night, studying before an exam or during a prolonged trip. Also, it is likely, we have noticed it after a work day that for some reason we can have lengthened. Significant changes. A study has detected Neurological changes in professionals prolonged working hours. The study was conducted in health professionals who faced days above 52 hours per week. “The overfracha can induce neuroadotative changes that can affect cognitive and emotional health,” Explain the team responsible for the study. Although it is a pilot study, which implies caution when drawing conclusions, the work provides new evidence on the impact of excess work on our well -being and in our productivity. The price of excess work. The global cost of excess work It is considerable. Beyond conventional occupational hazards, overfracha It has been related with an increase in the risk associated with cardiovascular diseases or metabolic disorders, among other problems. Recently, A study Posted in the magazine Environment International He estimated in almost 750,000 deaths attributable to excess work in 2016. This resulted in the loss of more than 23 million years of life adjusted by disability (Daly) linked to certain cardiovascular diseases. Excess work, marked in the brain. In addition to physiological problems, excess work can also cause mental health problems. In an effort to better understand their neurological context, the team responsible for the new study began studying the brain of professionals in a field, that of medicine, where marathon days are relatively common. The team He turned to the Gachon Regional Cohort (Grocs) to obtain certain data, which complemented with magnetic resonance scanning, for which they had a total of 110 participants, the majority sanitary. 32 of the participants (28%) met the requirements to be included in the group of those who worked in excess, while the rest would have “standard” days. To study the changes, the team resorted to a technique called voxel -based morphometry (VBM), a useful technique when identifying and comparing regional differences in the gray matter of the brain. Changes in 17 brain regions. They ran into significant changes in some regions related to executive function and emotional regulation. An example cited by the team is in A 19% increase In the volume of the average frontal turn, an area involved in key cognitive functions. The analysis allowed to detect increases in 17 regions of the brain. One of these areas was the upper frontal turn, an area involved in attention, planning and decision making. Another area of ​​interest was the insula, key zone in the integration of sensory stimuli and engines, but also in emotional processing and understanding of the social context, the team points out. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Occupational & Environmental Medicine. Small scale. The team itself warns that there are limitations that imply the need to be cautious in the interpretation of the results. For example, this is a pilot study on a limited sample of participants. In addition, experimental and control groups are not random, which implies a possibility of self -selection and with it a possible bias in the analysis.

Overcoming our brain when making the purchase is not easy. Some researchers have developed a tool to achieve it

by

“Codazo theory.” It’s how we could translate Anglo -Saxon expression, “Nudge Theory”, Which refers to the study of actions focused on giving us A “little push” Towards a specific decision. The concept is especially used in the context of the behavioral economy, That place where the economy is mixed with psychology. We know that companies often resort to these “pushcins” to lead us to purchases that generate more benefits but can we use this tool to improve health? Digital tool. The answer is yes, and there are many researchers who work to develop this type of tools. The last It has been developed By a team of Duke-Nus Medical School and it is a digital tool that aims to facilitate the task of choosing healthier products in our purchase on-line. An imperfect system. Choosing healthier food products is not always easy. Yes, we can always make sure that our purchase car is full of fruits, vegetables and other basic foods to cook at home, but this option is not always realistic. Labeling systems such as Nutriscore They can help us choose better, but they have Important limitations. The first is that evaluating the healthy of a product in a simple index is not always easy and sometimes leads us to important inconsistencies. The second, that this index must compete with marketing strategies that seek to buy a product, regardless of how healthy or ceases to be. Beyond labeling. To exceed these limitations, Duke-Nus’s team designed a digital tool destined to facilitate a purchase on-line better informed at nutritional level. This tool complemented the information available on the Internet purchase page, adding additional information. This additional information included a traffic light based on the index Nutriscore of products, complemented with other tools. First, the page ordered the products based on this index, first showing the healthiest products instead of doing it alphabetically. Second, the tool incorporated the follow -up of the products in the purchase car, indicating what proportion of food was labeled as green, yellow or red. Third, the digital tool also showed healthy alternatives (with similar prices and characteristics) to selected products. Studying alternatives. The team tested the tool through an experiment. They asked a group of participants to make three purchases on-line over three to six weeks. Some of the participants used this tool, while others used the conventional portal. The team observed that the purchase cars of the people of the intervention group scored better in the nutritional index. They also contained less calories, less fat in total and less saturated fats, less sugar and less salt. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Public health issue. By will or necessity, there are many people who seek to eat healthier, and that begins in a healthier purchase. Achieving it for oneself is not easy, but it is not to help these people without falling into prohibitions and Tax Methods. Here is like the behavior economy and Nudge Theory They can help us: the same tool often used to take us to more advantageous options for sellers can also be used to improve the health of consumers who wish to improve their diet.

Drinking too much affects our brain. And its effects are not far from those of a brain injury

by

We know that alcohol is a risk to our health Even in small doses. However, it is also known that the problems associated with alcoholic beverages grow significantly when we exceed the limits of what we call “moderate consumption.” Like a brain injury. A new study has observed That excessive alcohol consumption was related to the appearance of hyaline arterosclerosis, a disorder linked to brain lesions. The team highlights that, the association observed between alcohol and disorder should not be understood as proof in itself that alcohol is causing brain injuries. “Severe alcohol consumption is an important global public health problem linked to an increase in health problems and death,” pointed in a press release Alberto Fernando Oliveira Justo, co -author of the study. “We observe how alcohol affects the brain according to people age. Our research shows that excessive alcohol consumption damages the brain, which can lead to memory and cognition problems.” Hyaline artosclerosis. As explained by the study responsible for the study, the Hyaline artosclerosis It is a disorder that causes narrowing of some blood vessels, which makes them thicker and rigid. This in turn makes it difficult to flow from blood and therefore end up causing damage to the brain. This disorder can be originated in areas of the brain where there have been damaged injuries or tissue. Another disease linked to this disorder is Diabeteswhich can cause similar effects concentrated in the kidneys. From autopsies. In his study, the team responsible for the analysis had 1,781 participantsalready killed ages above 75 years. To study the impact of alcohol in their brains, cases in which brain autopsies of the bodies were used. Thus the equipment was able to look for signs of brain injuries such as TAU protein accumulations and signs of hyaline arterosclerosis. How much is a lot. The question of How much alcohol is a lot of alcohol It is difficult to answer clearly and concisely. The tolerance of our body with respect to this substance depends on factors such as our age, sex or body mass. In his study, the team conducted interviews with the relatives of the deceased people on which the study was based. From the information they classified these people among those who never drank (965 people in this group); moderate drinkers (319 participants); excess drinkers (129 people); and ex -owners who did it in excess (368 people). Finding the relationship. Once other factors were controlled, the team estimated that people in the category of excessive consumption had a risk of cerebral vascular lesions 133% higher than those who did not drink. The risk was 89% higher in the case of former owners and 60% higher in the case of those who drank moderately. The team also found indications of a relationship between alcohol consumption and the appearance of tau clusters, although this was a lower magnitude than that observed with hyaline arterosclerosis. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Neurology. A difficult balance. The team also observed other relationships in its study. For example cognitive problems that manifested between drinkers or a 13 -year reduction in the life expectancy of excess drinkers with respect to non -drinkers. The study represents a new test of the risks associated with alcohol. It is not rare to find information about the benefits of low gradation drinks such as wine but experts usually coincide in pointing out that, in regard to health, risks exceed possible benefits. In any case, these risks increase with consumption, something that we must also take into account.

patent changes in the brain of mothers

by

A few will surprise to know that pregnancy and childbirth imply fundamental changes in many aspects, even at the neurological level. However, we are still investigating the nature of these changes to resolve issues such as exactly these changes and what are due. Brain and childbirth. Now, a study led by researchers at the Gregorio Marañón hospital in Madrid and the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII) has studied the effect of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum on the brain of women. The team He found changes associated with these last two stages, but did not find significant alterations during the gestation period. Hippocampus and tonsil. The analysis allowed us to observe changes in the hippocampus and the tonsil of the participants. Changes that were associated with negative experiences of childbirth and the appearance of depressive symptoms in the postpartum. More specifically, the team detected an increase in the volume of the hippocampus among the mothers who had a “negative perception” of their childbirth; while the appearance of depressive symptoms in the postpartum was associated with a greater increase in the volume of the amygdala. “Childbirth and postpartum are moments of great emotional intensity that the mother remembers throughout her life. She changes her life and can change her body, a body also located in a context and influenced by him,” explained in a press release Cristina Ballesteros, co -author of the study. 88 first -time mothers. In the study, more than a hundred women participated, 88 of them, mothers who were examined at the end of the third trimester of pregnancy and during the first month after giving birth. The second group, of control, included 30 women without children who were examined during the same interval. Changes in the brain of the participants were examined through magnetic resonance images. The details of the study were Published in an article In the magazine Science Advances. Looking for the cause. The study, Explain the teamallowed to find correlations between certain experiences in childbirth and postpartum and changes in the brain, but to elucidate possible cause and effect relationships in these relationships is a more complex task. This implies the need to continue advancing in the investigation of this matter. The authors of the study indicate that the changes could be seen as an adaptation of the brain before “challenging” events such as childbirth or the early stages of motherhood, “as well as indicators of possible vulnerabilities.” Chained projects. A year ago, part of the team responsible for the present study published An article In the magazine Nature Neuroscience in which he also addressed the question of the changes that occur in the brain of mothers during pregnancy. That study did detect some changes in the brain that occurred before childbirth. Specifically in a brain red, explained at the time“Involved in the perception of the self and social cognition, the famous default network.” This is a region of the brain that remains active when we are not doing any particular activity, hence its particular name.

Marathons are so extreme that our brain makes drastic decisions, as how to consume itself

by

Running a marathon implies a considerable effort that can lead to our body to its limits. Of course, our brain is no exception in this regard. Effects on neurons. A new study has shown how marathons affect the structure of neurons. Specifically, the study responsible for the study found that this type of career Reduces myelina layer layer that covers these brain cells. This substance It is composed of proteins and fatty substances. Myelin Surround the axons, elongated parts of a neuron that connect it with other neurons and through which nerve impulses are transmitted. That is why its deterioration can make nerve impulses slow down, something we see in people with multiple sclerosis. High consumption. The energy consumption of the brain is very high if we take as reference its mass, Explain the responsible team From the new study: this organ consumes 20% of the energy of our body despite representing approximately 2% of its weight. The team wanted to find out what happened with an organ as avid to consume energy in extreme situations as a marathon. In reserve. And it is that these types of contexts force our body to take drastic measures for subsistence. Prolonged exercise, for example, can make our body exhaust its carbohydrate reserves, the primary source of body energy. The following energy reserve is in the fat we store. Already in extreme cases, our body can dissolve muscle proteins to obtain this energy, explains the equipment. As the team observed, this translates into the consumption of myelin that covers neurons. This reduction occurred in an important part of the gray and white matter of the brain and that, although some regions were more affected than others, the impact did spread similarly in the two cerebral hemispheres. “The results of our study indicate that nerve cells in conditions of hypoglycemia (little glucose) use alternative energy sources, such as myelin, a fat structure that surrounds the axons or nerve fibers that communicate the neurons and facilitates the ultra rapid propagation of the electrical signals,” Explain in a press release Carlos Matute, co -author of the study. Magnetic resonances. To carry out the study, the team made various resonances Magnetic to a dozen of marathon runners. They repeated these resonances on several occasions: the day before and the day after the race, two weeks and two months later. The details of the study have been published recently In an article In the magazine Nature Metabolism. A reversible change. The good news is that this change is reversible. The study itself showed how at two months, the myelin of the runners’ neurons recovered their usual levels. Uncertain impact. The study found a deterioration of myelin but for now we do not know how or to what degree this deterioration translated into effects on the cognitive functions of the brain. We know that the absence of myelin is linked to severe neurological disorders such as sclerosis. In Xataka | More and more people participate in popular marathons.

The willpower has failed in the adoption of habits, but the brain has a better trick: personal automation

by

Bet everything to willpower when you want to acquire a new habit It does not usually work. That I knew San Mateo: “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” James Clear, author of the Best Seller ‘Atomic habits‘He already warns that leaving the acquisition of habits to willpower is a decision that brings you a little more to failure. Our brain is not designed to constantly fight against what is comfortable and known. Clear bet for creating systems that lead to the execution of the new habits that you want to acquire to achieve your goals without having to depend on discipline and constancy. However, there is a method that can simplify it much more: Personal automation. Habit, what a habit? One of the best strategies for acquire a new habit Without depending on willpower, it is simply not having to think that there is that new habit. That is to say, Automate habit In the same way you don’t think when you wash your teeth or what breakfasts daily. An example of personal automation can be the one used by Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg (before Your style change) in which They had adapted their wardrobe to reduce the number of decisions they made up to date, and thus reduce their mental load. Neither Jobs nor Zuckerberg were planted every day before their closet thinking about what they were going to put that day, they simply opened the closet and took a clothing that was already previously selected, without mental debate. In fact, the brain has a natural tendency to procedure. The creation of habits is based on cerebral plasticity or, which is the same, the brain learns to perform a task Based on the repetition of the sameuntil he learns, optimizes it and executes it unconsciously and involuntary. Do you think every movement of the fingers when you tie you a shoe, brush your teeth or scrub your dishes? Obviously not, because it is something you have practiced so much that Your brain has automated it. Now think of your new habit as that automated action and how you can assimilate it without even having to think about it. The key to generating that automation is to integrate the habit into a specific routine and in a specific order, to repeat it every day, in the same way that every morning you get up, show you, you dress, breakfast in a certain order. It is not usual to change that order once you have acquired it because you have automated the process and the strange thing will be to skip one of those steps, so it will not depend on whether you woke up without wanting to shower, or breakfast. You don’t even consider it, you simply do it. The benefits of personal automation Such and As they point out from Thinkwasabione of the greatest benefits of personal automation is mental energy saving. However, this system helps reinforce Acquisition of new habits or objectives without leaving any loophole to temptation not to do so. In addition, personal automation can stimulate your creativity and ability to solve problems. When the automation process of a certain action or habit is already very settled, the brain enters “autopilot” while this process is carried out, which leaves space for creative thinking by promoting the “Eureka” moments. Ideally, start little by little, choosing one or two things you can automate in your daily routine, and then add more progressively. For example, if one of your goals is to eat healthier or save, you can start by integrating in your weekend routine the elaboration of A menu for the whole week. By having it prepared, you will not have to think about your diet daily or worry about cooking during the week to eat healthy. If your goal is start sportsprepare your shoes and sports clothes in advance so that you just have to hear them and run. Having to look for them under the bed can become a more than enough excuse for your brain to mine your willpower. Do not give that advantage. The key to this technique is in the consistency and anticipation. Make small actions repeatedly until they become automatic habits.

A European Startup and Microsoft have allied to overcome a major challenge: simulate brain reasoning

by

Simulate the human brain It is one of the great scientific challenges of our time. It is not just a matter of calculation power: for years, laboratories around the world have invested millions in trying to replicate their operation, but even with advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputing, the goal is still far away. Why is it so difficult? Because the brain is not only an information processor, but an ultra -efficient system of just 1.4 kg with more than 86,000 million interconnected neurons. Imitating their cognitive, emotional and linguistic abilities remains a border that we have not yet crossed, although some believe we are close. INAIT simulation technology and Microsoft’s computational power Inait, a Swiss startup founded in 2018 under the premise that “the only proven form of intelligence is in the brain”, has closed an alliance with Microsoft to develop models of the capable of simulating The reasoning of mammals. Their objective is to apply them in sectors such as finance, risk management and personalized advice. In theory, everything fits perfectly. Inait says having a simulation technology based on decades of research financed by the Swiss government, and Microsoft puts on the table the infrastructure and the business model necessary to transform this commitment into products ready to reach millions of customers worldwide. But the idea is not to develop human brains simulations with all its faculties overnight. Inait is training Digital models of different sizesdesigned to address specific challenges. For example, for advanced trading or the development of industrial machines capable of adapting to complex and dynamic environments. Digital visualization of a region of the Neocortex and the thalamus, including its network of blood vessels. Here the advantage is clear: take advantage of one of the most amazing faculties of the brain, which is its ability to face completely new scenarios and adapt quickly and continuously using previous knowledge. Even when it comes to sensory, emotional or social stimuli never before experienced. According to Financial TimesAdir Ron, director of AI and Cloud of Microsoft for emerging companies, highlighted the approach of the Swiss startup: “Inait is a pioneer in a new AI paradigm: it goes beyond traditional models based on data towards digital brains capable of a True cognition” For his part, Henry Markram, co -founder of INAIT, said that AI models based on brain simulations could not only learn much faster than current deep reinforcement systems, but also have significantly lower energy consumption. This would mean a key advantage in terms of efficiency and sustainability. Now we only have to wait to see if this vision translates into tangible advances or if, like so many other technological promises, You can’t advance enough. The possibility of building AI models that imitate the learning and adaptability of the human brain is a monumental challenge, but also an extremely interesting goal.
