Stanford Scientists Reverse Age-Related Memory Loss by Targeting the Gut
Aging changes gut bacteria in mice, weakening communication between the intestines and the brain. Restoring that connection helped older mice form memories as effectively as young mice. For decades, age-related memory loss has largely been viewed as a problem that begins in the brain. But growing evidence suggests that some of the processes shaping cognition [...]
Researchers at Stanford Medicine have identified a link between the gut microbiota and memory, suggesting that changes in the gut flora may influence age-related cognitive decline. The study, conducted on mice, reveals that communication between the gut and the brain is crucial for memory formation. Changes in the gut microbiota affect memory. The research indicates that the gut microbiota of mice changes with age, affecting communication betwee…
