  31. The major neurological findings are: Stimulation of brain monoamines (dopamine and serotonin) Neurogenisis in the hippocampus (memory) Decrease in brain atrophy (altzheimer) Increased brain plasticity (changes in neural connections) Increased blood flow throughout the brain (glucose) Increased production of neurotrophins (BDNF)

  32. BDNF is… MIRACLE GROW FOR THE BRAIN
