"In short our study has extensively investigated the effects of drinking tea on brain connectivity (on both regional and global scales) using multi-modal imaging data," said study co-author Li Feng. Along with this, "we have provided the first such evidence, that drinking tea has shown a positive contribution in improving brain structure and making the organization of nerve cell networks more efficient.''
