TL;DR: The animal studies and in vivo evidence for Bacopa monnieri as a potential therapeutic antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress and improve cognitive function are discussed and future studies incorporate neuroimaging particularly magnetic resonance spectroscopy into randomized controlled trials to better understand whether changes in antioxidant status in vivo cause improvements in cognitive function.

TL;DR: In this article, a 21-day online computer-based cognitive training intervention was administered to 34 individuals aged between 53 and 75 years, who were tested at baseline, post-training and at three-weeks follow-up using a battery of neuropsychological outcome measures.

TL;DR: Although the inclusion of individuals with lived experience is encouraged within the research process, there remains inconsistent direct involvement in many mental health fields as discussed by the authors, and there is a need for more direct involvement of individuals in mental health research.

TL;DR: The additional measurements in the ARCLI trial will further the understanding of the underlying mechanisms associated with healthy ageing and may provide insights into novel preventative therapeutic strategies for maintaining cognitive and brain health into old age.
