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 Psychiatry: Habitual coffee drinkers display a distinct pattern of brain functional connectivity
