Can agents found in the diet help with neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation, therefore possibly being of benefit for nervous system diseases and disorders?
It seems that sulforaphane, found in cruciferous vegetables, can enhance neural stem cell proliferation (growth) and differentiation (maturation into mature neural cells) as described in this paper here.
I myself always like to eat Brussel sprouts, and these findings increase my desire for that food.
