A team from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior is launching a first-of-its-kind study to explore potential links between beef consumption and brain health.
Utilizing brain imaging, blood biomarkers and surveys over a 12-week study, researchers led by Aron Barbey, the center's director, will explore how beef consumption impacts brain health in young adults.
The research team received funding from the Nebraska Beef Council, Texas Beef Council and National Cattlemen's Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff, and will collaborate with the university's Department of Animal Science and Loeffel Meat Lab.
