Your gut bacteria may reveal how quickly your brain is ageing; UCLA researchers found specific microbes and chemical byproducts linked to older-looking brains, poorer memory, focus and mood
- A person's "brain age" may be different from their chronological age.
- For years, scientists have used brain scans to estimate this age and found that when the brain appears older than expected, it is associated with a pattern of poorer memory, weaker thinking skills and changes in mood.
- Most of these studies focused on older adults who already had neurological conditions.
