Mouth Bacteria May Be Linked to Thinking Speed
Original: Your Mouth's Bacteria May Be Linked to How Quickly You Think
A new report suggests that the bacteria living in the human mouth may be connected to how quickly people process information and react. The finding points to a possible relationship between oral microbiomes and cognitive speed, adding to growing research on how microbes in the body influence the brain. It is early science, and no one is claiming bacteria directly change intelligence, but the link is notable for a field where gut-brain connections have already drawn wide attention.
Why now: It is a surprising new science finding suggesting oral microbes could influence brain performance.
