@cupofcoffee I would reckon this is also partially due to the effect of aspirin on things like IL-6 and reduction of IBA1 aka AIF1. Plasticity is the natural state of the brain, barring metabolic dysregulation. Worth noting that AIF-1 is normally only present in inflammatory situations and controls blood vessel formation; therefore, reduced expression would indicate reduced inflammation and indicate reduced risk of atherosclerosis, vessel thickening, stroke, etc. A Mild Dose of Aspirin Promotes Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Working Memory in Experimental Ageing Mice

@PUFADestroyerPPO taurine especially great for combat sports for the prehab / rehab effects on brain injuries. Protective effects of taurine in traumatic brain injury via mitochondria and cerebral blood flow Protective effects of taurine against inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in brain injury
