Drinking water boosts your brain’s reaction time

We all know that drinking water regularly is good for the body. But new research has revealed that drinking water when we feel thirsty boosts our brain’s performance in mental tests…

Drinking Water Can Boost Cognitive Performance

There is evidence that mild dehydration has a negative effect on the brain’s performance. Caroline Edmonds and colleagues from the University of East London and the University of Westminster here report that drinking water can improve performance on tasks that require a rapid response, particularly when thirsty…

In Rat Model, Choline Intake Improves Memory And Attention-Holding Capacity

An experimental study in rats has shown that consuming choline, a vitamin B group nutrient found in foodstuffs like eggs and chicken or beef liver, soy and wheat germ, helps improve long-term memory and attention-holding capacity…

Early Nutrient Restriction Affects Mammalian Brain Development

A new study explains how young brains are protected when nutrition is poor. The findings, published on in Cell Reports, a Cell Press publication, reveal a coping strategy for producing a fully functional, if smaller, brain…

Challenging Long-Held Belief That Low Blood Flow To The Premature Brain Necessarily Kills Brain Cells

Physician-scientists at Oregon Health & Science University Doernbecher Children’s Hospital are challenging the way pediatric neurologists think about brain injury in the pre-term infant…

Piglet Study Offers Insights Into Iron Deficiency And Cognitive Development

University of Illinois researchers have developed a model that uses neonatal piglets for studying infant brain development and its effect on learning and memory. To determine if the model is nutrient-sensitive, they have done some research on the effects of iron-deficient diets…

Caffeine’s Effect On The Brain’s Adenosine Receptors Visualized For The First Time

Molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) has enabled scientists for the first time to visualize binding sites of caffeine in the living human brain to explore possible positive and negative effects of caffeine consumption…

How Does Diet Affect Brain Function?

The biological processes of the brain may play a role in serious public health issues, including diabetes, obesity, binge eating, and the temptation of high-calorie meals. The finding came from studies that were unveiled today at Neuroscience 2012, the yearly meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s greatest source of new information regarding neurology and well-being…

Green Tea Improves Memory And Spacial Awareness

Although previous studies have shown that green tea consumption aids in weight loss, can lower cholesterol levels and is full of anti-oxidants, a new report published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research reveals that it may also benefit memory and spacial awareness as well…

Cognitive Function Improved By Ginseng-Fortified Milk

Research has shown that American Ginseng is beneficial to combat aging, for central nervous system disorders and that it has neurocognitive effects, yet incorporating American Ginseng into foods presented scientists with challenges due to its bitter taste and because processing food can destroy its healthy benefits…
