It's still not entirely clear why, as we accumulate gray hair, we lose cognitive abilities and our memory begins to fail us. Neuroscience points to decreased blood flow to the brain; to the natural loss of gray matter volume with age; or to the fact that neuronal repair mechanisms, like everything else, are no longer as efficient and begin to fail. To all these potential reasons, scientists now add another: the gut microbiota In a study conducted with mice, a team from Stanford University has found that a bacterium that proliferates in the rodents' gut with age plays a key role in the animals' cognitive decline. They have observed that this bacterium, called P. Goldsteinii, It produces molecules that prevent the neurons connecting the gut and brain from communicating. This, in turn, reduces activity in the hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped region of the brain responsible for learning and forming new memories.
