If it seems like were posting all the fing time about the benefits of turmeric - youre right - were certainly guilty of this. While were mindful of not going overboard with the turmeric news, when a study comes out like this one, we have to share. Researchers in Germany recently showed that ar-turmerone, one of the primary alkaloids in turmeric, promotes proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in lab rats. An increase in neural stem cells has both regenerative and neuroprotective effects in brain tissue, meaning this study has huge implications for folks suffering from neurodegenerative diseases. What Im equally intrigued by is the potential benefit for healthy brains. Past studies have shown that stimulation of neural stem cells increases myelination of neural connections. Myelination is an essential step in the neurobiology of learning and memory formation - meaning an increase in myelination could potentially accelerate the learning process and improve overall brain function. Of course, we already know that turmeric is excellent in reducing neurological inflammation, perhaps the most significant brain-hindering factor for most people. Putting this all together, turmeric looks to be a legit brain wonder drug. Now, you understand my excitement. :) besynchro/blogs/blog/16817640-ar-turmerone-the-turmeric-compound-that-stimulates-brain-stem-cells
