Australian scientists in Journal of Neurochemistry He wrote that a certain type of mushroom contains an active compound that, according to an official summary, “stimulates nerve growth and improves memory.”
We’re talking about lion’s mane, technically known as Hericium erinaceusWhich has been used in traditional medicine in Asian countries for centuries.
“We wanted to scientifically determine their potential effect on brain cells,” explained one of the study’s authors. Frederic Meunier, professor of neuroscience at the Queensland Brain Institute. According to research, lion’s mane has a significant effect on brain cell growth and improving memory.
As with almost any study of this type, the researchers’ final conclusion is that more research is needed. But compounds in these mushrooms have been linked to improved memory and even anti-aging properties in several other studies.
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University reported For example, they found that common mushrooms contain high levels of antioxidants, which are linked to reducing medical conditions such as cancer, coronary heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s disease.
At the top of the list, according to these scientists: porcini mushrooms.
