There is a direct relationship between brain function and dietary habits. What are Brain Healthy Foods? The brain needs adequate nutrition to function efficiently. You can obtain these nutrients from multiple food groups like fish, vegetables, fruits etc. These foods help protect the brain from ...
The body's blood glucose level needs to be maintained in a relatively narrow range. It cannot be too high, as it can lead to diabetes, and it cannot be too low because it can cause fainting or even death. "There are manyglucose-sensing neurons in the brain that are thought to actively...
Whole grains, like oats, barley, quinoa and wheat, provide a steady release of glucose to the brain, essential formaintainingenergy levels and focus throughout the day. They’re also rich in vitamin E, which protects against cognitive decline andpromotes overallbrain health. ...
alterations in overweight individuals is still needed. In addition, while we found a significant association between functional connectivity in visual network and TFEQ-hunger subscale, it should be noted that the hunger subscale is relatively unstable across different populations, and thus needs to be...
At the genome-wide level, Kong et al. [122] performed the first GWAS examining brain FDG metabolism in 222 subjects from the ADNI cohort in 2018, and identifiedRBFOX1(RNA-binding Fox1) SNP rs12444565 to have a strong association with brain glucose metabolism. Wang et al. [124] identified...
The gastrointestinal tract plays a role in the development and treatment of metabolic diseases. During a meal, the gut provides crucial information to the brain regarding incoming nutrients to allow proper maintenance of energy and glucose homeostasis. T
Adrenaline boosts your heart rate and blood pressure, causes the liver to release stored energy in the form of glucose and sends blood to your large muscle groups. Cortisol tempers the bodily functions that aren't necessary when you're in a serious bind, such as digestion and growth. During...
The mechanisms underlying the organization and evolution of the telencephalic pallium are not yet clear.. To address this issue, we first performed comparative analysis of genes critical for the development of the pallium (Emx1/2 and Pax6) and subpallium
The human brain is a highly vascularized and energetically demanding organ, containing more than 600 km of blood vessels that supply oxygen, glucose, and nutrients to support brain functions, while facilitating removal of carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes [151]. At the same time, the ...
