Obesity doesn't just affect the waistline—it reshapes the brain. Emerging evidence suggests chronic metabolic overload disrupts neurovascular coupling, blood–brain barrier integrity, cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and myelination, creating conditions that may accelerate neurodegeneration. As obesity and neurological disorders rise in parallel, understanding these interconnected pathways could reveal new strategies to protect brain health across the lifespan. #Neuroscience #Obesity #BrainHealth
