Can beets tackle Alzheimer’s at its root?

Harmful formations in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s might be responsible for much of the neural damage. Can a beet-derived pigment prevent the harm?

New insight into similarity of complex brain networks in monkeys, humans

Monkeys that ate a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids had brains with highly connected and well organized neural networks – in some ways akin to the neural networks in healthy humans – while monkeys that ate a diet deficient in the fatty acids had much more limited brain networking, according to an Oregon Health & Science University study.
