Although many people enjoy the taste of green tea,
what they don't know is that they could be improving their memory and other
brain functions as well. The study composed by Professor Christoph Beglinger from the University Hospital of Basel and Professor Stefan Borgwardt from the Psychiatric University Clinic. Both professors ran MRI tests on healthy male participants to analyze the brain activity. The MRI showed there was an increased activity between the frontal and the parietal cortex of the brain. Professor Borgwardt came to the conclusion that the, "Findings suggest that green tea might increase the short-term synaptic plasticity of the brain" There is no actual knowledge to see how green tea and the frontal and parietal cortex work together.
The study will continue its research and it will increase the help in other mental problems such as dementia and and any other cognitive impairment.
Even if green tea shows it helps in memory and other cognitive impairments, it only showed this study in healthy males. I'm very curious if this study could, or would apply to women as well. Personally I would need this because Short term memory runs in my family and to my own benefit, be ahead of the game.

That's very interesting! Especially knowing there is such a complex relationship between some foods and cognitive function. I myself enjoy green tea, so hopefully they will find a correlation in women as well.
