Metformin, a drug commonly used to treat Type II diabetes, can help trigger the pathway used to instruct stem cells in the brain to become nerve cells researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have found.
Brain stem cells and the neural cells they generate play a role in the repair of the injured or degenerating brain. This study suggests a novel therapeutic approach to treating people with brain injuries or potentially even neurodegenerative diseases.
“If you could take stem cells ..."

A new imaging technique developed at MIT offers the first glimpse of the degeneration of two brain structures affected by Parkinson’s disease.
The technique, which combines several types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), could allow doctors to better monitor patients’ progression and track the effectiveness of potential new treatments, says Suzanne Corkin, MIT professor emerita of neuroscience and leader of the research team.

Using small nets to fish blood clots out from inside people's brains may be the future of stroke care, according to a pair of studies.
According to researchers, "Clot-busting drugs only partially reopen 40% of large blocked arteries. These devices partially reopen 70-90% of large blocked arteries."
Furthermore, this new technique may be used in patients who cannot take certain drugs designed to break up clots or thin blood.

Fasting while providing liver support and protein fractions is not 'true' fasting but intelligent 'fasting'. The liver is driven by nutrients and toxins escorted out on proteins. Seems wise to give toxins a clear bowel, a method of binding and then transporting them out vs. allowing them to recirculate as potentially more dangerous metabolites. The brain and gut reflect one another so no surprise what cleanses and rebalances the GI tract will do the same for the brain -
