Natural substance NT-020 aids aging brains in rats, study finds

University of South Florida researchers found that a combination of nutrients called NT-020 promoted adult neural stem cell proliferation in aged rats and boosted their memory and spatial navigation performance. They tested two groups of aged laboratory rats; one group received NT-020 and a control group did not. In the NT-020 treated group, neurogenesis increased and researchers concluded that the NT-020 treated group had fewer activated inflammatory brain cells and an increase in stem cells.
