Chinese researchers tested the flavonoid called icariin for its ability to improve the cognition of patients who suffered a traumatic brain injury. They reported that the flavonoid could raise the level of hippocampal acetylation, which in turn improved the cognition of the patient.
Their efforts were supported by Jiangsu University. They published their findings in the Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine.
The researchers concluded that icariin improved the impaired cognition of mice that suffered from traumatic brain injuries.
