Summary

This study looks at how different types of dietary fats influence brain function in healthy adults aged 65 to 75. Participants will follow two one-week diets: one similar to a typical North American diet high in palmitic acid, and another similar to the Mediterranean diet high in oleic acid. Researchers will measure working memory and brain activity using MRI scans to understand the effects of fatty acids on the aging brain.
