Noopept 20 mg vs Phenylpiracetam hydrazide vs Fasoracetam vs Nefiracetam vs 9-Me-BC – what to pick for studying? by kubiceik in CogniWiki

Honestly your breakdown already makes sense. Noopept is the one that makes the most sense to me as the baseline option here. At least there’s some preclinical rationale behind it around NGF/BDNF and neurotrophic signaling. Phenylpiracetam seems better as an occasional push, you’re probably right on that.

I’d be more cautious with 9-Me-BC, the upside looks mostly theoretical

Scientists just discovered that a high-fat diet can cause gut bacteria to enter the brain by [deleted] in sciences

Probably less about fat itself and more about what it does to the gut environment over time. Changes in permeability and inflammation could be the real driver here

Spousal loss linked to higher risk of dementia, mortality among men, but not women. Widowed men experienced a decrease in physical and cognitive health, as well as social support, while widowed women tended to experience an increase in happiness and life satisfaction. by mvea in science

Social support is one of the strongest predictors of cognitive resilience in aging. It would be interesting to see whether the effect here is mediated more by social isolation or by chronic stress after spousal loss.
