New York sources have stated that feeding cinnamon, a delicious addition to toast, coffee and breakfast rolls might help improve learning ability, has said a study led by an Indian-origin researcher and the findings has showed that the poor learning mice had improved memory and learning at a level found in good learning mice.
A lead researcher Kalipada Pahan, professor at Rush University in Chicago, US has told that some people are born naturally good learners, some become good learners by effort, and some find it hard to learn new tasks even with effort and also understanding brain mechanisms that lead to poor learning is important to developing effective strategies to improve memory and learning ability.
Pahan has added that when this sodium benzoate entered their brains, it showed an increased in the levels CREB and decrease in GABRA5 level.
This, then stimulated the plasticity the ability to change of hippocampal neurons and these changes in turn led to improved memory and learning among the mice, and they have successfully used cinnamon to reverse biochemical, cellular and anatomical changes that occur in the brains of mice with poor learning.
