Hi,
- Fasting inhibits mTOR.
- If you search for mTOR inhibitors you will find loads, but most of them will inhibit the mTOR in the liver,kidney,etc,etc. We need it in the brain.
Here is a photo of the synapse look with MDMA (long term)
(Left) Excess synapses in the brain of a child with autism (Right) Properly pruned synapses of a developmentally typical child.
Children with autism have overactive mTOR, which prevents autophagy from ‘cleaning house’ and getting rid of the damaged synapses.
