👉 The tablets research, often associated with the work of Dr. Andrew Huberman at Stanford University, focuses on the effects of intermittent fasting and calorie restriction on brain health and cognitive function. This study explores how periodic abstinence from food (intermittent fasting) can lead to neurogenesis, the growth of new neurons, particularly in the hippocampus, a region crucial for memory and learning. Researchers have found that such fasting periods can enhance synaptic plasticity, improve cognitive performance, and even increase the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports neuron survival and growth. The findings suggest that these dietary practices may offer protective benefits against age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases, though further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms and long-term effects.
