- Caffeine metabolite 1-methylxanthine (1-MX), may help improve memory and support brain health in both young and aged animals. Rats given 1-MX for 12 days performed better on a memory task and showed increases in key brain chemicals linked to learning, neuroprotection, and antioxidant defenses. https://www.psypost.org/caffeine-metabolite-1-mx-boosts-memory-and-brain-health-study-finds/ 5 comments science
- Eyeglasses for students linked to higher test scores, better academic performance. Scientists say the findings could lead to improved learning for millions of children who suffer from vision impairment and lack access to pediatric eye care. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaophthalmology/article-abstract/2783867 213 comments science
