When you reference a previous thread, it is good form to include a LINK to the thread. Also, thanking people from one thread in a different thread is not nearly as good an idea as thanking them in the thread for which you are thanking them. Not everyone reads all threads.timeuser84 said:Hi, the one on mbti functions. sorry, my mistake.
Funny I was reading about this study while you were posting.timeuser84 said:Hi, forgot to say a thanks for all the info provided in my previous thread to everyone who posted. So what is the answer or answers to this threads question or what works?
Results
Every one standard deviation increase in healthy “prudent” dietary pattern was associated with a 45.7 mm3 (standard error 22.9 mm3) larger left hippocampal volume, while higher consumption of an unhealthy “Western” dietary pattern was (independently) associated with a 52.6 mm3 (SE 26.6 mm3) smaller left hippocampal volume. These relationships were independent of covariates including age, gender, education, labour-force status, depressive symptoms and medication, physical activity, smoking, hypertension and diabetes. While hippocampal volume declined over time, there was no evidence that dietary patterns influenced this decline. No relationships were observed between dietary patterns and right hippocampal volume.
There's an easier way -- just go into the thread / post you want to link to, and click the little "share" icon to the right of the red NEW button at the top of the post. That gives you a pop-up box with the URL of that post, so just copy it and then paste it into the new thread. Like this for your post:phinds said:EDIT: by the way, posting a link on this forum is a bit annoying in that you have to post the link then "insert" the actual link, using the "linked donuts" link symbol.
Grey matter is a type of brain tissue that contains the majority of the brain's neuronal cell bodies. It is responsible for processing and transmitting information throughout the brain, and plays a crucial role in cognitive function, sensory perception, and motor control.
The brain grows grey matter through a process called neurogenesis, which is the formation of new neurons. This occurs mainly during early development and continues throughout life, particularly in the hippocampus, which is responsible for learning and memory.
Yes, studies have shown that grey matter can continue to grow and change throughout adulthood through a process called neuroplasticity. This can be achieved through activities such as learning new skills, physical exercise, and meditation.
While there is no specific food or supplement that has been proven to directly increase grey matter, a healthy and balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can support brain health and potentially aid in the growth of grey matter.
There is currently no evidence to suggest that intentionally trying to increase grey matter through healthy lifestyle habits poses any risks. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your diet or lifestyle.
