Japanese researchers link high-calorie diets to synaptic decline

Researchers in Japan report that cognitive decline caused by a continued habit of eating high-calorie food stems from abnormalities in the synapses, the junctions between nerve cells. The finding offers a biological explanation for how poor diet can impair brain function over time. The study is drawing attention for connecting everyday eating habits directly to changes at the cellular level in the brain.

Why now: New research offers a biological mechanism linking high-calorie diets to cognitive decline, which concerns many readers.
