The lion\u2019s mane mushroom extracts\u00a0<strong>promote the generation of very long neurites and many branches<\/strong>\u00a0even in the absence of serum and BDNF which was surprising in itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurther, at the tip of each of these branches, there is normally a tiny structure called a growth cone that is capable of sensing the environment and orientate the growth of its particular branch. In the presence of the lion\u2019s mane mushroom compounds, the size of these growth cones was\u00a0<strong>hugely increased<\/strong>\u00a0with some being even larger than the cell body of the neuron. It would be like having a hand larger than your own body, so even more surprising!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese growth cones are search engines capable of finding target neurons and establishing connections between them,\u201d \u2026 \u201cThis suggested that the compounds could\u00a0<strong>promote the establishment of new connections between neurons in the brain,<\/strong>\u00a0which is at the core of memory formation. This is why we tested various paradigms of memory to see if the compound had any effect which we found they had.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lion\u2019s mane powder is inexpensive, and you can get it in bulk as well. I take pre-made capsules, include it in my own microdosing capsules, and also blend the powder into smoothies and shakes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .fl-post-content --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fl-post-nav clearfix\"><span class=\"fl-post-nav-prev\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stevepavlina.com\/news\/inside-the-wooniverse-podcast-expanding-your-reality-to-greater-possibilities-with-colette-baron-reid\/\" rel=\"prev\">\u2190 Inside the Wooniverse Podcast: \u201cExpanding Your Reality to Greater Possibilities\u201d with Colette Baron-Reid<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hop.clickbank.net\/?affiliate=infohatch&amp;vendor=J1R2C\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10614 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png\" alt=\"Profit Gen\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png 400w, https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone turned me on to this article today about the potential neurological benefits of lion\u2019s mane mushrooms, which I\u2019ve been taking for several weeks now: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-relationships"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3920\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
