The article discusses how the distribution of body fat in different regions relates to brain aging and cognitive performance, independent of overall obesity. It highlights that visceral fat, arm and trunk fat, and leg fat each show distinct associations with brain structure, connectivity, and thinking abilities.

This topic is of interest to psychology readers because it connects physical health factors with neural changes and cognitive outcomes, illustrating how bodily processes influence brain function over time.

Romantic breakups linked to lower hippocampal brain volume in adults with childhood trauma https://www.psypost.org/romantic-breakups-linked-to-lower-hippocampal-brain-volume-in-adults-with-childhood-trauma/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #RomanticBreakup #HippocampalVolume #ChildhoodTrauma #MentalHealth #BrainStructure
Romantic breakups linked to lower hippocampal brain volume in adults with childhood trauma

Childhood maltreatment alone showed no effect on hippocampal size, but individuals with maltreatment and a romantic breakup had smaller hippocampal volumes, highlighting how later-life stress can exacerbate early trauma's impact on brain structure.

Individuals with thicker insula brain region take more cocaine when given a chance, study finds https://www.psypost.org/individuals-with-thicker-insula-brain-region-take-more-cocaine-when-given-a-chance-study-finds/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #CocaineResearch #BrainStructure #Insula #AddictionScience #DrugBehavior
Individuals with thicker insula brain region take more cocaine when given a chance, study finds

Individuals with thicker insulae and higher caudate gray matter volumes administered more cocaine, with women self-administering more than men. Results suggest links between brain structure and compulsive drug use behaviors.
