Beskrivning

This text aims to fill a void between the fields of nutrition, behaviour, and cellular and molecular neurosciences by providing an integrated collection of articles that critically dissect the link between what we eat and how the brain develops and functions in health and disease. Key topics covered in depth include: caloric restriction benefit the brain and retard aging; effects of dietary antioxidants on brain function and aging; developmental and function consequences of different dietary fatty acids; and the biochemical links between dietary folic acid and psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
