About This Trial
This study aims to understand how adipose tissue (fat) and the gut microbiota (the bacteria in the gut) may influence brain function and cognition. It has been observed that changes in adipose tissue in animals such as mice and Drosophila (a type of insect) affect memory and other brain functions. Additionally, it is believed that the gut microbiota also plays an important role in cognition.
