And although there is a crowd ofHealth benefits Linked to drink coffee on a regular basis, new research indicates that it could lightly change the composition of your brain, especially the volume of gray matter. The little study, which was published in the newspaperCerebral cortexfound that after a period of 10 days of "Caffeine abstinence", the participants had a greater volume of gray matter than those who had caffeine.

Participants included 20 healthy people who regularly drink coffee. They were given two capsules (a caffeine contained and the other was a placebo) to take for two different 10 days. They were asked not to drink coffee for both times. At the end of each two-day period, researchers examined the gray matter of participants via brain scans.

While the initial goal of the study was to see if caffeine had an effect onsleepiness, as sleep deprivation can affect the gray matter in the brain. However, the results revealed that theThe participant's sleep depth was equal, despite having caffeine or not. What was different? The volume of the gray matter of the brain wasLargest at the standing "Caffeine abstinence" of 10 days.

The gray matter was particularly greater in the right medial temporal lobe, which includes the hippocampus (AKA The essential region for the consolidation of memory)

"Our results do not necessarily mean that caffeine consumption has a negative impact on the brain," said Dr. Carolin Reichert one of the authors of the main study, saidA declaration. "But the daily consumption of caffeine obviously affects our cognitive material, which, in itself, should give rise to further studies."

Thus, while caffeine seemed to reduce the volume of gray matter, once the participants ceased to have a caffeine for 10 days,the volume of gray material seemedRegenerate significantly in all those who participated in this study. This shows that the effects of caffeine on the brain are probably temporary, but more research is needed to see how this could affect our daily cerebral function if it is at all.
