          Chemotherapy Disrupts Brain Connectivity

          New research reveals that chemotherapy can lead to rapid and widespread changes in brain connectivity in breast cancer patients. Using functional MRI scans, scientists observed disruptions in the frontal-limbic system and cerebellar cortex, regions involved in executive function and memory.

          Exercise During Chemotherapy Boosts Cognitive Function

          A recent clinical trial found that women who began an aerobic exercise program during chemotherapy for breast cancer reported improved cognitive function and quality of life compared to those who received standard care. Participants in the exercise group felt they could better concentrate and remember things, helping to reduce the effects of "chemo-brain."

          Hope for Chemo Brain: Cannabis Could Improve Sleep and Cognitive Function in Cancer Patients

          Cancer patients who use cannabis to address their symptoms have less pain, sleep better, and after a few weeks of sustained use, appear to think more clearly. This study is among the first to assess how cannabis bought over the counter at dispensaries affects cancer symptoms or chemotherapy side effects, and sheds light on the wide variety of products cancer patients use now that marijuana is legal in many states. The findings suggest that while some forms and dosages of cannabis for pain relief may impair thinking short-term, the treatment might improve cognition in the long run by reducing pain.

          Identifying the Inflammatory Cells Behind Chemo Brain

          Microglia appear to be associated with brain fog and memory problems that arise as a result of exposure to chemotherapy, researchers discovered. Deleting the immune cells from the microglia in mice who received the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel lowered inflammation and restored memory function.
