A new Tulane University study suggests the Mediterranean diet’s brain-boosting benefits may work by changing the balance of bacteria in the gut.

In a study published in Gut Microbes Reports, researchers at Tulane University School of Medicine found that subjects following a Mediterranean diet developed distinctly different gut bacteria patterns compared to those eating a typical Western diet. These bacterial changes correlated with better memory and cognitive performance.

“We’ve known that what we eat affects brain function, but this study explores how that could be happening,” said lead author Rebecca Solch-Ottaiano, Ph.D., neurology research instructor at Tulane’s Clinical Neuroscience Research Center. “Our findings suggest that dietary choices can influence cognitive performance by reshaping the gut microbiome.”

A cryptic six-word tweet from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman— Near the singularity; unclear which side—has left the tech world buzzing with speculation. Is this a warning about the dangers of AI, a revelation of progress, or a subtle message about the inevitability of the singularity? As whispers of superintelligence grow louder, it seems we’re on the brink of a technological revolution once considered pure science fiction. OpenAI’s groundbreaking advancements, such as the rumored o3 model, suggest that the singularity may already be unfolding before our eyes. But what’s really happening behind the scenes? Are these advancements paving the way for a brighter future or setting the stage for unforeseen challenges? And why has Sam Altman, one of the leading voices in AI, sparked controversies with his cryptic remarks and bold predictions? In this video, we’ll uncover the mystery behind Sam’s tweet, explore OpenAI’s latest breakthroughs, and dive into the implications of living in a world teetering on the edge of the singularity.
