The Claim
In obese postmenopausal women, a 4-month caloric restriction intervention improves recognition memory, increases gray matter volume in the hippocampus and inferior frontal gyrus, and enhances hippocampal resting-state functional connectivity to parietal regions, as demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial.

We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Cutting calories might help overweight women after menopause remember things better and boost brain areas tied to thinking, according to a 4-month diet study.

Caloric restriction improves recognition memory and increases gray matter volume in the hippocampus and inferior frontal gyrus in obese postmenopausal women, as demonstrated in a 4-month randomized controlled trial showing enhanced hippocampal resting-state functional connectivity to parietal areas following a low-calorie diet intervention.
