Psychonutrition, neuroinflammation chronique, microbiote et anxiété, hypercortisolémie, tout ça tout ça... On avance ENFIN !

A new analysis shows that anti-inflammatory medications may help reduce symptoms for a subset of people with depression who also have chronic, low-grade inflammation.

Au regard du post précédent, il est évident que celui-ci en est une conséquence plausible ! Et comme les neurotransmetteurs dépendent du microbiote... Les émotions seraient-elles, elles aussi, épigénétiques ?

A common assumption is that throughout history, people have experienced the same basic range of emotions. A radical field of history now challenges this assumption, Gal Beckerman reports. https://theatln.tc/93LEvySV

People tend to imagine that other people “have the exact same set of emotions that we have,” Beckerman writes. “We perform this projection on any number of human experiences: losing a child, falling ill, being bored at work. We assume that emotions in the past are accessible because we assume that at their core, people in the past were just like us, with slight tweaks for their choice of hats and of personal hygiene.”

Rob Boddice, a leader in the field of the history of emotions and senses, mistrusts this universalism, a philosophy that emerged during the Enlightenment, when European intellectuals began to assume that all people share a common nature. Many critics now understand that they were attempting to exert power and order over a world that had recently become bigger and stranger. “By the time we get to our current globalized culture, in which a Korean thriller can win Best Picture at the Oscars and Latin pop stars dominate the U.S. charts, the notion that our emotional registers are all essentially alike feels self-evident,” Beckerman continues.

“Boddice starts with the opposite premise, that we are not the same,” Beckerman writes. “Rather than being a constant—extending across space and time—human nature for Boddice is a variable and unstable category, one with infinite possible shades.”

Although his approach might seem “squishy and postmodern,” Beckerman writes, Boddice’s research layers his own thinking on top of the most recent advances in neuroscience.

Not new but true.

A large-scale study from researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine found that multilingualism may be associated with slower brain aging and a reduced risk of cognitive decline.
The researchers suggest that regularly using and switching between multiple languages provides continuous mental exercise.
This sustained cognitive effort strengthens neural pathways involved in memory, attention, and executive control.
Over time, these strengthened pathways may help delay age-related neurological decline.
As a result, multilingual individuals often show greater cognitive resilience throughout later life.
