Scientists have known for years that unhealthy diets – particularly those that are high in fat and sugar – may cause detrimental changes to the brain and lead to cognitive impairment.
A new study by UF neuroscientists demonstrates an example of the brain’s ability to shift and utilize different neural circuits to perform a task in order to compensate for brain aging. The rat model study, published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience, was designed to test the hypothesis that cognitive…
