This book addresses how nutrition and diet can influence cognitive function. It presents information on dietary supplementation, dietary patterns and lifestyle choices for maximizing cognitive health across the lifespan. The book focuses on sensitivity of the brain to nutritional environments, nutrient deficiencies and the impact of diet on cognitive function and well-being. Chapters cover cognitive health in ageing adults; genetics for brain health; vitamins and minerals for cognitive health; flavonoids, glucose and herbal extracts to enhance cognitive function; and the application of…mehr

Talitha Best is a researcher, practicing psychologist, and lecturer with a passion for solution-oriented thinking and process innovation. Dr. Best addresses critical innovation related to translation of research into workable solutions for researchers, practitioners and industry in the areas of nutrition, food systems and products, brain function and cognitive performance. Dr. Best received her PhD in clinical psychology and nutrition-cognition research from Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia, and completed a joint postdoctoral position at the Nutritional Physiology Research Centre at University of South Australia (UniSA), Adelaide, and the Centre for Human Psychopharmacology, Swinburne University, Melbourne. Her research and clinical interests focus on the effects of nutrition to improve mood and neurocognitive function. Louise Dye is Professor of Nutrition and Behaviour in the Human Appetite Research Unit in the School of Psychology, University of Leeds, United Kingdom. She received her BSc in Human Psychology from the University of Aston in Birmingham and her PhD in Psychopharmacology from the University of Leeds. She has held Medical Research Council and Royal Society post-doctoral fellowships in the United Kingdom and Europe, including a Marie Curie Professorial Fellowship in Jena, Germany. Professor Dye is a Chartered Health Psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society. She is Associate Editor of Nutritional Neuroscience and the European Journal of Nutrition and a member of the editorial board of Human Psychopharmacology.
