From one of my fav e-newsletters:
In a recent column I wrote about the essential role that minerals play in the function and health of the body and mind. The latest example is presented in the January 28th edition of the journal Neuron. A joint study conducted by neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Tsinghua University in Beijing discovered that supplementing with a special form of magnesium can lead to greater magnesium concentrations in the brain and ultimately improvements in cognitive function.

* A new magnesium compound (magnesium-L-threonate) was used as an intervention in a group of old and young rats.
* Magnesium-L-threonate supplementation caused a significant increase in brain magnesium levels in both old and young rats.

The elevation in magnesium levels resulted in “enhancement of learning abilities, working memory, and short and long-term memory”. Older rats also demonstrated an improvement in “pattern completion ability”. Perhaps the most dramatic finding is that rats treated with magnesium-L-threonate: a) exhibited higher density in the hippocampus, a region of the brain associated with learning and memory and; b) improved the communication between neurons in the brain, a process known as synaptic plasticity. The authors of the study concluded that “an increase in brain magnesium enhances both short-term synaptic facilitation and long-term potentiation and improves learning and memory functions”. (1)

No place around here carries it :(



The Nawgan formula supports memory and thinking skills
in four ways. First, the lycopene in the beverage provides
anti-inflammatory protection. Second, the natural vitamin E
provides powerful anti-oxidant protection. Third, the alpha-
glyceryl phosphoryl choline and citicoline (cognizin®)
helps to increase acetylcholine levels in the brain (acetylcholine
is critical for memory and thinking skills). Fourth, the citicoline
also helps to provide structural support to brain cells,
(phospholipids). The combination of ingredients is theoretically
sound and based on strong science.

Magnesium-L-threonate as mentioned above is available at Swanson's.

Preliminary research suggests great potential for this new magnesium—the only form known to readily cross the blood-brain barrier and function within the brain.

New Study Finds High Magnesium Intake Helps Reduce Fear and Anxiety

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A supplemented intake of magnesium is found to enhance the brain's ability to reduce fear and anxiety responses, making way for a possible supplemental treatment for many anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, specific phobias and others. In the October 2011 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience, top neuroscientists at Tsinghua University in Beijing, University of Texas, and University of Toronto revealed that by increasing the extracellular magnesium concentration in the brain through a new magnesium compound called Magtein™, the cognitive ability – an essential facility that controls fear and anxiety – is enhanced. This development becomes extremely significant considering anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in America, affecting 18% of the population(1).

Anxiety disorders can be triggered by fear and thus, affect cognitive functioning. When in danger, fear is essential for survival. This fear triggers the brain to respond with many split-second changes in the body to prepare to defend against the danger or to avoid it. This response is a healthy reaction meant to protect a person from harm.

But in anxiety disorders this reaction is enhanced so that the fear memory continues even when one is no longer in danger, affecting cognitive ability on a daily basis.

"Through our study, we found that increasing brain magnesium with Magtein enhances not only the learning and memory ability, but also top-down inhibition of fear memory of rats," explains Dr. Guosong Liu, one of the study's principal scientists. "When the cognitive ability is enhanced, fear responses such as anxiety-like and PTSD-like behaviors, are controlled."

According to Liu, the use of a high magnesium treatment induces a unique pattern of action on brain regions involved in and responsible for the body's emotional processes. It heightens the function of the prefrontalcortex, a brain region involved in controlling fear responses, without affecting the function of amygdala – the brain's evolutionary conserved region involved in fear memory formation and storage. "By increasing brain magnesium through Magtein, cognitive ability goes up, fear memory remains unchanged".

Liu and colleagues say that Magtein is a potential supplement to cognitive therapy and treatment against phobias, PTSD, and other anxiety-related disorders. Their findings are found in the latest issue of The Journal of Neuroscience, titled "Magnesium Intake Enhances Retention of Extinction."
