Coffee is a unique drink that is attributed many different properties. Recently, an international group of scientists discovered that caffeine changes the structure of the brain. This became known as a result of the study, during which the subjects were divided into two groups.

The first group regularly took caffeine in capsules, and the second took a placebo. Specialists studied the electrical activity of the brain and did not find any deviations, but they noticed that the amount of gray matter in the temporal lobe area decreased in the brain of caffeine users.

Scientists found out that this leads to memory impairment. However, the effect is short-lived, as the volume of gray matter returned to its previous level after the caffeine intake was over.
