31、 diet caused cognitive impairments （认知损伤）in mice and it could produce the same effect on humans.Costantino Iadecola, director of the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research the Institute, said they fed the mice eight to sixteen times their normal salt intake and then tested the mice. After about three m

32、onths, the mice had a big change in their behavior. Mice are very curious, and they like to look for new things. However, the tested mice lost the ability to identify a normal object. When the mice were put in their cage and asked to find a quiet spot, they did not remember where the quiet spot was.

33、 Then when the mice were building a nest, which is something the mice do daily, they were unable to do so. The research suggested humans would experience a similar response.Studies have shown Australians eat around double the recommended（推荐的） amount of salt each day, most of it coming from processed

34、 food. Dr Ladecola said the estimated two teaspoons of salt the average Australian eats each day could affect the brain function in the long term. However, the decline might not be as obvious as in the mice, who were given extremely high levels of salt. But probably over years and perhaps decades -
