Scientists have studied the brains of people who regularly drink coffee
A group of scientists from Denmark and Portugal for the first time described in detail the functional changes in the human brain due to drinking coffee, RIA Novosti reports.
As specified, in their study they used the method of functional magnetic resonance imaging.
It turned out that in the brain of coffee drinkers, the connection between the thalamus and the cerebellum, which is responsible for motor control, is strengthened. They also showed increased activity between several cerebellar and subcortical regions. According to scientists, this activity explains effects such as increased focus and attention, as well as improved memory and learning.
It is noteworthy that the researchers observed the same phenomena in people who usually do not drink coffee, shortly after they drank a cup of this drink.
In this regard, the scientists concluded that the changes in the brain under the influence of caffeine are likely to be of a short-term nature.
Recall, scientists from the University of Basel studied the effect of daily coffee consumption on sleep and the volume of gray matter in the brain.
In addition, AiF previously told how many cups of coffee it is safe to drink per day and what can be used to replace this drink in the morning.
