Adherence to unhealthy diets is associated with altered frontal gamma-aminobutyric acid and glutamate concentrations and grey matter volume: preliminary findings

This study by Hepsomali et al. (2024) investigated the relationship between diet quality and neurobiological factors, as well as their associations with common mental disorders (CMD) and rumination in adults, focusing on the frontal cortex. Reduced grey matter volume (GMV) in regions involved in CMD pathology and abnormalities in excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) activity in the frontal […]

Western diet consumption impairs memory function via dysregulated hippocampus acetylcholine signaling

Consumption of a Western diet (WD) during early developmental stages is linked to memory problems, particularly affecting processes reliant on the hippocampus (HPC). To explore the neurobiological reasons behind this, Hayes et al. (2024) established a rodent model where early exposure to WD led to enduring dysfunction in the HPC. Rats were given either a […]
