  • Researchers from University Hospital Bonn (Germany) and Hebrew University (Israel) published a 2017 study in the journal Nature Medicine that found long-term, low doses of THC (the active compound in cannabis) reversed cognitive decline in aged mice.

    Key Findings:

    THC reactivated mTOR signaling, restoring synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus (a brain area tied to memory).

    Older mice given THC showed marked improvement in learning and memory, performing comparably to younger mice.

    The treatment mimicked exercise and caloric restriction effects, which are also linked to healthy aging.

    Caveat: These effects were not observed in young mice, who actually experienced impairment with THC—highlighting age-specific impacts.

  • New research from Aalto University and the University of Oulu confirms something astonishing: your brain today is still influenced by the amount of sleep you got two weeks ago.
    The study tracked participants over five months, using brain scans, wearables, and surveys to uncover how daily habits shape long-term cognitive performance.

    Key takeaway? Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested the next morning—it has a ripple effect on attention, memory, and mental sharpness weeks later. That groggy brain fog after a bad night? It may be compounded by previous poor sleep from days—or even 15 days—ago.

    Researchers also found that consistent routines like sleep quality, physical activity, and mental engagement significantly boost brain connectivity and neuroplasticity.

    Tips for Long-Term Brain Health:

    - Get 7–9 hours of quality sleep consistently

    - Exercise regularly

    - Stimulate your brain with reading or learning

    - Practice mindfulness or meditation

    - Eat brain-boosting foods (omega-3s, berries, leafy greens)

    Today’s focus, memory, and clarity may be echoes of your past two weeks. Make each day count.
