Scientists sequenced DNA from nearly 2,000 foods, identifying half as new microbes. Foods like pulque and cheese brine contained unique microbial communities that influenced human gut health.
Regions of the brain that mature last, like the frontal lobe, show early signs of aging. This suggests that our advanced decision-making abilities may come with an aging trade-off.
Research on 'baby brain' shows that brain structures can shrink during pregnancy but often recover. Changes in brain circuitry relate to the strength of maternal bonding.
Understanding how pregnancy alters brain structure is crucial, as shrinking does not equate to losing neurons, highlighting the complexity of cognitive changes during motherhood.
