New Way to Stimulate Brain to Release Antioxidants

Neopallium writes "A joint research effort between researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research in La Jolla, CA, and a team from Japan (Iwate University, Osaka City University, Gifu University, Iwate Medical University) has discovered a novel way to treat stroke and neurodegenerative disorders. This approach works by inducing nerve cells in the brain and the spine to release natural antioxidants that protect nerve cells from stress and free radicals that lead to neurodegenerative diseases."

... pomegranite juice injections in my spine. Why don't they hook me up with a white wine IV and save themselves the trouble?

even if they can do 50% of the article claim

Stimulating the brain on its own would be a great achievement for todays couch potatoes.. let alone releasing anti oxidants.
