Another Difference Between Men and Women… Found On Autopsy

Last week I wrote to you about a new medical study that shows how women and men have different cardiac responses to stress. This week, yet another difference between men and women… this time, in the brain.     Turns out, on autopsy, investigators found that there was a distinct difference between the brains of men and women in depression. There are lots of differences between depression in men and women, as we already know. These results may help explain why.

I Had No Idea This One Neurotransmitter Changes Everything We Know About Aging

Serotonin is historically linked with depression — and poor sleep as well — since serotonin is the precursor to melatonin and folks who are low in serotonin are likely low in melatonin too. (Which sucks because as I blog about here, folks struggling with depression are only likely to have the depression resolve if they are sleeping well.) But today’s medical study truly blew me away, because it reveals that serotonin isn’t just linked with depression and sleep, but with cognition.   In fact, this study suggests that the decline in cognition and memory issues as we age isn’t simply
