Shafaqna English- New research from the UNC School of Medicine reveals that a high-fat diet can disrupt memory circuits in the brain within just four days—even before weight gain occurs. Published in Neuron, the study shows that specific brain cells in the hippocampus, known as CCK interneurons, become abnormally hyperactive when exposed to a high-fat diet, impairing memory processing. Researchers found that restoring glucose levels or implementing intermittent fasting could normalize neuron activity and rescue memory function in mice. “We were surprised how quickly these memory circuits became vulnerable to a high-fat diet,” said lead researcher Juan Song, PhD.
