Il caffè, brain food: una ricerca ha valutato i suoi effetti sulle interazioni tra diverse aree del cervello (Coffee, brain food: a study evaluated its effects on interactions between different areas of the brain)
The effects coffee can have on mental performance are well known and confirmed by extensive scientific literature, but the changes that moderate coffee consumption can cause on brain connections had never been analyzed. This was done by a study conducted by the School of Medicine at the University of Minho (Portugal), sponsored by the Isic–Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee. What the team of scientists discovered is the beneficial role of coffee on the connectivity and functionality between different brain areas, which, according to scientific evidence, influence intelligence, defined as an individual's ability to process information at a cognitive level.
