She noticed that she and her mother reacted in different ways to tea. Sophia got bad headaches, but her mother felt happy and focused. Sophia decided to do an important science experiment in a laboratory. First, she used a computer to look at past studies on mice. She discovered that caffeine changes how cells work. Next, she grew rat brain cells in small dishes. She added different amounts of caffeine to the cells. She used special bright dyes to see the cells under a microscope. Sophia saw a sad pattern. The cells with more caffeine grew fewer neurons. They also made fewer connections with other cells. Caffeine made the brain networks look very empty and simple.
