The more I age the more important hydration turns out to be. Gastric issues, joint pain, blood pressure, weight problems, kidney stones, bad breath, constipation.. and now brain issues too?

Do yourself a favor, and start drinking a ton of water!

Please correct me if wrong but this has almost nothing to do with broad human dehydration or hydration.

I think it is an interesting finding and it would be interesting to hear more about the implications from someone in the field.

I only broadly understand this is some kind of peeking behind the curtain of some process that was not fully understood before

On an absolute tangent, every kid today has a water bottle. It's a constant priority for us when we leave the house, and when we arrive at the destination, it's "stack yours with the rest of the kids'".

I never had a water bottle growing up. Was I just constantly dehydrated? Seems like it.
