Intermittent Fasting is a type of diet in which one regularly forgoes food for a certain period of time, usually somewhere between 14 and 18 hours. While it’s been known that IF increases the rate of hippocampal neurogenesis, the precise nature of the relationship is still poorly understood.

One study using mice revealed an increased activation of the Notch signaling pathway, a type of cell-to-cell communication that’s important to cell differentiation, the process by which immature cells, like stem cells, take on a permanent form and function. In humans, Notch signaling is related to hippocampal neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to create new connections, allowing us to learn and form new memories.
