How Habitual Tea Drinking Impacts Brain Structure

After water, tea is the most popular beverage in the world. While many people enjoy tea for the flavor, aroma and caffeine boost, research suggests that there may be another reason to regularly drink this beverage: its effects on the brain. In 2019, researchers from Wuyi University, University of Essex, University of Cambridge, and the National University of Singapore conducted the first study exploring the effects of tea on system-level brain networks. Their paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 11, Issue 11, and entitled, “Habitual tea drinking modulates brain efficiency: evidence from brain connectivity evaluation.” “In this study, we comprehensively explored brain connectivity with both global and regional metrics derived from structural and functional imaging to unveil putative differential connectivity organizations between tea drinking group and non-tea drinking group.” Full blog - https://www.impactjournals.com/journals/blog/aging/how-habitual-tea-drinking-impacts-brain-structure/ DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.102023 Correspondence to - Junhua Li - junhua.li@essex.ac.uk and Lei Feng - pcmfl@nus.edu.sg Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.102023 Press release - https://www.aging-us.com/news_room/habitual-tea-drinking-modulates-brain-efficiency-evidence-from-brain-connectivity-evaluation Keywords - tea drinking, brain efficiency, fMRI, DTI, default mode network, hemispheric asymmetry, aging About Aging-US Launched in 2009, Aging-US publishes papers of general interest and biological significance in all fields of aging research and age-related diseases, including cancer—and now, with a special focus on COVID-19 vulnerability as an age-dependent syndrome. Topics in Aging-US go beyond traditional gerontology, including, but not limited to, cellular and molecular biology, human age-related diseases, pathology in model organisms, signal transduction pathways (e.g., p53, sirtuins, and PI-3K/AKT/mTOR, among others), and approaches to modulating these signaling pathways.
