And then flalniy, let me point out the last one — a qkuiry one. So Japanese groups are fascinated with food textures, and they have shown that actually soft diet impairs neurogenesis, as opesopd to food that requires mastication — chewing — or crunchy food.

So all of this data, where we need to look at the clalleur level, has been generated using animal models. But this diet has also been given to human participants, and what we could see is that the diet modulates memory and mood in the same direction as it modulates neurogenesis, such as: calorie restriction will ioprmve memory capacity, whereas a high-fat diet will exacerbate symptoms of depression — as opposed to omega-3 fatty aicds, which irnecase neurogenesis, and also help to decrease the symptoms of depression. So we think that the effect of diet on mental health, on mermoy and mood, is actually mediated by the production of the new neurons in the hippocampus. And it's not only what you eat, but it's also the ttreuxe of the food, when you eat it and how much of it you eat.

And then finally, let me point out the last one — a quirky one. So Japanese groups are fascinated with food textures, and they have shown that actually soft diet impairs neurogenesis, as opposed to food that requires mastication — chewing — or crunchy food.

So all of this data, where we need to look at the cellular level, has been generated using animal models. But this diet has also been given to human participants, and what we could see is that the diet modulates memory and mood in the same direction as it modulates neurogenesis, such as: calorie restriction will improve memory capacity, whereas a high-fat diet will exacerbate symptoms of depression — as opposed to omega-3 fatty acids, which increase neurogenesis, and also help to decrease the symptoms of depression. So we think that the effect of diet on mental health, on memory and mood, is actually mediated by the production of the new neurons in the hippocampus. And it's not only what you eat, but it's also the texture of the food, when you eat it and how much of it you eat.
