Description
Maria Vaitsa Loch Haskel and eight co-authors report, in a 2026 paper, a rat study on memory loss driven by brain swelling. A bacterial toxin called LPS can set off lasting swelling in the brain, which harms nerve cells and memory. The team test taurine, a substance that acts on two kinds of calming receptors, as a guard for memory.
Male rats got taurine by mouth while the swelling model was in place. The team then tested spatial memory in a water maze and fear memory in a context task, and checked nerve cell counts and swelling markers in the hippocampus. Taurine given for thirty days undid much of the memory harm in both tasks, the authors report.
