Regular Coffee Drinking Tied
to Functional Brain Changes
Using fMRI, researchers found that connectivity in the somatosensory and limbic
resting states was reduced in regular coffee drinkers (CDs) in comparison with non–coffee
drinkers (NCDs), suggesting an association between coffee drinking and improved motor
control and alertness. In addition, dynamic activity in several cerebellar and subcortical
areas of the brain was increased among CDs, consistent with an improved ability to focus.
The study is Nature Molecular
