Hey Stephen, are you sure it was ibuprofen and not baby aspirin? That’s what I’ve heard in the past. Great posts, I love the posts on Dopamine, Seratonin, acetylcholine, and GABA. I have subscribed since reading them and hope you continue writing on neuroscience.

Very good post. I can honestly say that mediation does have an incredible impact on the mind. The practice of regular mediation makes the person more calm, less reactive to external stressors, and more in control of their lives. Meditation can also make you feel more compassion for others and lead you to understand that our reality as we see it is not real. Depending on the type of meditation you choose to practice, you gain specific benefits. There are many meditation techniques and its important to learn about each of them when deciding which to choose in starting to meditate.

@Jonathan, I am a big fan a supplementing for optimal health and for reasons of personal history the brain is one area I pay a lot of attention to.

@Alik, the caffeine one is difficult because it has some benefit to the brain as well. However, when I discovered it inhibited neurogenesis I decided to cut it. Since I have some brain health issues already, every little bit is important. Also, most of the people whose advice I value say to limit caffeine.

@Roger, Thanks for stopping by. Continual learning is one of the best things you could possibly do to make you a more effective human being. The fact that it also helps your brain in a physical way is a big bonus!

@Glen, thanks for stopping by and for your support! I’ll tell you why I listed them. SSRI’s are powerful boosters of neurogenesis. That is information that may be important and very valuable to some people and in their particular situation it may be a good thing. I don’t think information is bad. As far as Ibuprofen I am personally on the fence about whether to use it or not. As long as you stay below the maximum I don’t think they cause many problems. Once again it’s a personal decision and I would rather people have the information.

@All, thank you so much for all the conversation!
