Short high fat diet triggers reversible and region specific effects in DCX+ hippocampal immature neurons of adolescent male mice
Abstract Adolescence represents a crucial period for maturation of brain structures involved in cognition. Early in life unhealthy dietary patterns are associated with inferior cognitive outcomes at later ages; conversely, healthy diet is associated with better cognitive results. In this study we an...
