"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.

"Correlation Found Between Neurodegenerative Disorders and Elevated Brain Acidity"

A new study involving 131 researchers from over 100 different laboratories suggests that increasing brain acidity, linked to higher levels of the waste product lactate, may underlie a range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, Alzheimer's, and epilepsy. The study, conducted in animal models, found a clear association between increased brain lactate levels and impaired working memory. While the impact of lactate on mental health remains uncertain, the findings open up new treatment avenues for various disorders, with future research focusing on developing tailored treatments for patient subgroups characterized by specific alterations in brain energy metabolism.
