“…This is according the research conducted by the Baltimore National Institute on Aging stating that fasting once or twice a week can protect the brain from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (Ranisavljev et al, 2023). When there is no food intake in the body, the intestines will rest, food essence will decrease so that the burden on the blood carrying it will decrease (Horne et al, 2023).…”

Bullying cases continuously spread in educational institutions so that they affect student physical and psychological development and even give the institution reputation bad name. Madrasah Mu’allimaat Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, on the other hand, is able to decrease the number of bullying cases. The objective of this research is to theorize bullying preventing practices in Madrasah Muallimaat Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. The approach of this research is descriptive qualitative. The informants of the research are the head of the madrasah, teachers, and students. The data collection methods are observation, interview, interpretation, and documentation. The data analyses are done with description, categorization, interpretation, and theorization. The result of the research shows that bullying preventing practices are done by combining psychological approach, neuroscience, and Islamic learning. The practices are then theorized into neuropsychology. Neuropsychology learns the relationship between brain and behavior, studies various functions including knowledge, skills in managing emotions focusing on empowering individuals. Neuropsychological interventions done at Madrasah Muallimaat Yogyakarta are: (1) Self-control through guidance, (2) Self-control through fasting habitation, (3) Self-control through collaboration and the values of friendship, (4) Self-control through religious activities (5) Self-control through empathy among students, and (6) self-control through patience and discipline. Theoretical configuration of the neuro-psycholgical intervention can be a model for the next research on bullying prevention in other Islamic educational institutions.

“…This comes by virtue of the fasting effect in improving cognition, slowing down neurodegeneration, reducing brain damage, enhancing functional recovery after stroke, and mitigating the pathological and clinical features of epilepsy and multiple sclerosis in animal models [10]. Among the emerging healthy diets, numerous studies have demonstrated that intermittent fasting (IF) has significant effects on weight changes and metabolic parameters associated with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, oxidative stress, and cancer [11][12][13][14]. Furthermore, many animal studies have shown that IF reduces cognitive deficits by stimulating a reduction in BDNF production in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and striatum by suppressing the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, and enhancing neurotrophic support [15][16][17][18].…”

Background: The potential positive interaction between intermittent fasting (IF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on cognitive function has been widely discussed. This systematic review tried to assess the efficacy of interventions with different IF regimens on BDNF levels and their association with cognitive functions in humans. Interventions with different forms of IF such as caloric restriction (CR), alternate-day fasting (ADF), time-restricted eating (TRE), and the Ramadan model of intermittent fasting (RIF) were targeted. Methods: A systematic review was conducted for experimental and observational studies on healthy people and patients with diseases published in EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases from January 2000 to December 2023. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statements (PRISMA) for writing this review. Results: Sixteen research works conducted on healthy people and patients with metabolic disorders met the inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Five studies showed a significant increase in BDNF after the intervention, while five studies reported a significant decrease in BDNF levels, and the other six studies showed no significant changes in BDNF levels due to IF regimens. Moreover, five studies examined the RIF protocol, of which, three studies showed a significant reduction, while two showed a significant increase in BDNF levels, along with an improvement in cognitive function after RIF. Conclusions: The current findings suggest that IF has varying effects on BDNF levels and cognitive functions in healthy, overweight/obese individuals and patients with metabolic conditions. However, few human studies have shown that IF increases BDNF levels, with controversial results. In humans, IF has yet to be fully investigated in terms of its long-term effect on BDNF and cognitive functions. Large-scale, well-controlled studies with high-quality data are warranted to elucidate the impact of the IF regimens on BDNF levels and cognitive functions.
