Deans' stroke musings: probiotics and tryptophan may slow down social cognitive decline in aging.

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

probiotics and tryptophan may slow down social cognitive decline in aging.

Would this help us post-stroke? Let your doctor know that you want to know the results when they are released. Charge him/her $1000 for training if you have to notify them them that the results are out. Your doctor should have a system in place that notifies them when relevant stroke research comes out. And that shouldn't be me, if they are relying on me and you to keep up to date that is a sign of pure incompetence.

A JPI "A Healthy Diet for A Healthy Life" / Joint Transnational grant (1.000.000 Euro) has been awarded to Dutch, German and Spanish interdisciplinary scientists to investigate whether the administration of probiotics and tryptophan may slow down social cognitive decline in aging.

Within twenty years Europe will face a situation where the largest population cohort will be those over the age of 65. The aim of the awarded research program is to understand how social cognition, a crucial factor for successful aging and vitality, can be preserved and promoted in old age. This project will be jointly carried out by Peter Kirsch (Central Institute of Mental Health, Germany), Lorenza Colzato (Leiden University, The Netherlands), Martin Reuter (University of Bonn, Germany) and Ana Rodríguez Moratinos (University of Extremadura, Spain). Using a multidisciplinary and translational approach, this project will be the first to examine how probiotics and tryptophan can enhance social and affective cognition in aging. Epigenetics (changes in gene expression triggered by the environment) will be used to study and understand the mechanisms underlying the interactions between brain, nutritional intervention, and social behavior. If successful, this approach would provide an important step towards developing food programs that are tailored to individual needs. The proposed research is the first to combine genetics, epigenetics and nutritional intervention studies from a social cognitive neuroscience perspective.
