Coffee enhances neurocognitive function by reorganizing brain functional connectivity.

These findings are from a study in @SciReports which investigated functional connectivity before and after drinking coffee using graph-theoretic analysis of electroencephalography (EEG). nature.com/articles/s4159… 2/8

Integration of neural activities between different brain regions is required for physiological brain functioning; therefore, analyzing functional connectivity between brain regions may provide more information than investigating activities of individual brain regions. 3/8

In this study, the resting-state EEG data and results of neuropsychological tests were consecutively acquired from 21 adults before and 30 min after coffee consumption. 4/8
5
Functional connectivity was reorganized toward more efficient network properties after coffee consumption. 5/8
6
Performance on cognitive testing improved after coffee consumption, and the improved performance in executive function was correlated with changes in graph measures, reflecting a shift toward efficient network properties. 6/8
7
As such, the beneficial effects of coffee on cognitive function might be attributed to the reorganization of functional connectivity toward more efficient network properties. 7/8
8
Overall, these findings demonstrate that the patterns of network reorganization could be used as quantitative markers to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of coffee on cognition, especially executive function. 8/8
