{Brazilian researchers from the Rio De Janeiro University have made a wonderful discovery that would help boosts brain function and also improve memory.}<\/p>\n

The scientists found that a diet rich in hot red chillies, parsley, thyme and chamomile boosts the brain\u2019s function and improves memory and learning.<\/p>\n

The study showed that the herbs and spices have high levels of the plant compound apigenin, which improves neuron formation and strengthens the connections between brain cells.<\/p>\n

The scientists also discovered that apigenin, part of a group of compounds called flavonoids, has the potential to treat diseases such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n

According to Professor Stevens Rehen who was also part of the team, the connections are crucial for good brain function, memory consolidation and learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have shown a new path for new studies with this substance.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, flavonoids are present at high amounts in some foods and we can speculate that a diet rich in flavonoids may influence the formation of neurons and the way they communicate within the brain,\u201d said Professor Stevens Rehen.<\/p>\n

The study is published in Advances in Regenerative Biology.<\/p>\n
