Mouth Bacteria May Be Linked to Thinking Speed
Original: Your Mouth's Bacteria May Be Linked to How Quickly You Think
New research suggests the bacteria living in a person's mouth may be connected to how quickly they process information. Scientists studying the oral microbiome found differences in microbial communities that appear to correspond with cognitive performance, specifically reaction and processing speed. The findings add to growing evidence that gut and oral bacteria can influence brain function, though the link remains observational and does not prove cause.
Why now: The surprising connection between oral bacteria and cognitive speed challenges common assumptions about brain health
