Neural link between food and memory
A scientific study has revealed that dietary intake influences the formation of memories through a neural mechanism that connects the gut and the brain. Consuming high-calorie meals, such as fatty foods and sugars, stimulates the secretion of acetylcholine, which helps enhance memory. Experiments have shown that mice fed on diet rich in fats and sugars exhibit stronger brain activity related to memory compared to those consuming low-calorie foods. However, researchers warn that early dependence on an unhealthy diet can weaken the neural pathways responsible for memory and negatively impact cognitive performance in the long term.
