"Correlation Between Brain Acidity and Neurological Disorders"

A global research effort involving 131 scientists from 105 labs in seven countries has revealed a link between brain metabolism problems, changes in brain acidity, and a range of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, including autism, Alzheimer's, depression, epilepsy, schizophrenia, intellectual disability, and bipolar disorder. The study identified alterations in brain pH and lactate levels as key signs of metabolic dysfunction, which may lead to new ways of diagnosing and treating these complex disorders affecting a large portion of the global population. The findings suggest that changes in brain pH and lactate levels could serve as biological markers for neuropsychiatric disorders with cognitive impairment, and future studies will focus on uncovering effective treatment strategies across diverse animal models with brain pH changes.
