Nutrition and Brain Health

UC Davis Health researchers synthesized 25 MRI spectroscopy studies comparing 370 people with anxiety disorders to 342 controls and found about 8% lower choline levels in brain regions tied to cognition and emotion among those with certain anxiety disorders. Authors and outside experts cautioned the association does not prove causation and said it is too early to recommend choline supplementation, though the pattern could guide future research into nutrition–brain chemistry links.
