Insufficient intake of selected vitamins, or certain metabolic disorders, may affect cognitive processes by disrupting the nutrient-dependent processes within the body that are associated with the management of energy in neurons, which can subsequently affect synaptic plasticity, or the ability to encode new memories.
The Mediterranean diet is associated with improved memory and learning in young rats, a recent study shows, suggesting that the same findings could also apply to humans, Mediterranean diet may ...
Poor diet in early childhood affects the number of neurons in parts of the brain. [1]Nutritional neuroscience is the scientific discipline that studies the effects various components of the diet such as minerals, vitamins, protein, carbohydrates, fats, dietary supplements, synthetic hormones, and food additives have on neurochemistry, neurobiology, behavior, and cognition.
The small study, published today in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, analyzed data from 76 people aged 50 to 83 who wore activity trackers for eight days ...
This diet emphasizes brain-healthy foods and discourages those harmful to the brain. Dietitians say to eat more foods like leafy greens, nuts, berries, and fatty fish. At the same time, cut down ...
They also showed increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein important for memory formation, and higher levels of butyrate, a fatty acid produced by gut bacteria that can improve memory and altered brain cell activity patterns that promote learning and memory. A mixture of probiotics and prebiotics could be a way to ...
The results indicated that the ketogenic diet was associated with lower blood sugar, improved memory and motor ability in older mice. Researchers showed there was improved plasticity in the ...
The authors concluded that cannabis does not have a long-term effect on intelligence. However this is contradicted by the long-term longitudinal study, carried out by Otago and Duke universities, which found that regular use of marijuana in teenage years affects IQ in adulthood even when the use stops. The drop in IQ was 8 points.
