People who consumed the highest levels of certain artificial sweeteners saw a significant decline in their ability to remember and recall words, equivalent to 1.6 years of brain aging, according to a new study.
This study explores the role of the Wnt pathway in regulating dendritic spine morphology and synaptic function. The authors found that activation of the Wnt pathway leads to the formation of new spines and enhances synaptic strength. Their findings suggest a novel mechanism by which the Wnt pathway influences synaptic plasticity and cognitive function.
