This means that it may
help damaged neurons repair after injury or from aging.
That's a problem because BDNF is important for
helping damaged neurons recover.

The researchers found that mutant mice lacking Del - 1 had more severe attacks of the EAE than normal mice, with more
damage to myelin, the fatty sheath that coats
neurons and
helps in the transmission of signals along the cell.
These fatty acids may normally
help dampen inflammation in the brain and protect
neurons from
damage, and lower levels in the brain have been implicated in several mental illnesses.
Scientists have found that a plant pigment called quercetin — found in some fruits, vegetables, herbs and grains — could
help to prevent the
damage to nerves associated with the childhood form of motor
neuron disease.
Our results suggest that readily available drugs could
help protect
neurons against some of the
damages inflicted by this illness.
Doctors at Okyanos utilize a specifically developed Okyanos protocol for opening up the blood brain barrier to
help deliver stem cells directly to the brain; a technique that has been proven effective in independent studies This enables doctors to target your stem cells inside the brain to re-establish blood flow and repair
damaged nerve cells (
neurons) as well as target the restoration of myelin, halting the future progression of symptoms.

helped acquire the microscope, is using the Lightsheet to track the integration of
neurons created from stem cells into
damaged mouse spinal cords.
Its protective action prevents
damage to the
neurons and
helps in maintaining brain health.
