DL- and PO-phosphatidylcholines as a promising learning and memory enhancer

This study evaluates the cognitive-enhancing effects of two phosphatidylcholine derivatives: 1,2-dilinoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPhtCho) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPhtCho). In scopolamine-induced amnesic rats, oral administration of DLPhtCho (5 mg/kg) or POPhtCho (5 mg/kg) individually, and especially their combination, significantly reduced acquisition and retention latencies in the Morris water maze test. The combined treatment outperformed

Enhancement of learning and memory by elevating brain magnesium

This 2010 in vitro and animal study demonstrated that elevating brain magnesium levels using magnesium-L-threonate (MgT) significantly improved learning and memory in rats, including enhanced short- and long-term memory, working memory, and pattern completion in aged rats. The improvements were linked to increased synaptic density in the hippocampus and enhanced
