In this episode of the Cortex Labs Nootropics podcast, we’ll discuss the almighty Ginkgo Biloba. We’ll talk about:

1. It’s ability to increase acetylcholine concentrations in certain areas of the brain.
2. Ginkgo’s effect on the dopaminergic system.
3. Components in the plant that may be useful in fighting off Alzheimer’s disease.
4. And more!
