Decline in fluid intelligence, one of the most debilitating aspects of cognitive aging, has been linked to omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status; however, it is not known whether this phenomenon results from specific omega-3 PUFAs acting on particular aspects of brain health. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether particular patterns of omega-3 PUFAs influence fluid intelligence by supporting specific neural structures. Methods: We measured six plasma phospholipid omega-3 PUFAs, fluid intelligence, and regional gray matter volume in the frontal and parietal cortices in 100 cognitively intact older adults (65–75 years old). A four-step mediation analysis was implemented using principal component analysis and multivariate linear regressions, adjusted for age, gender, education, and body mass index. Results: The mediation analysis revealed that one pattern of omega-3 PUFAs, consisting of alpha-linolenic acid, stearidonic acid, and eicosatrienoic acid, was linked to fluid intelligence, and that total gray matter volume of the left frontoparietal cortex (FPC) fully mediated the relationship between this omega-3 PUFA pattern and fluid intelligence. Discussion: These data demonstrate that fluid intelligence may be optimally supported by specific omega-3 PUFAs through preservation of FPC gray matter structure in cognitively intact older adults. This report provides novel evidence for the benefits of particular omega-3 PUFA patterns on fluid intelligence and underlying gray matter structure.

Galloway, Ph.D. Director of the University Honors Program EATING ON PURPOSE: CREATING RECIPES FROM THE SCIENTIFIC EFFECTS OF FOOD ON THE MIND AND BODY HONORS THESIS Presented to the Honors Committee of Texas State University-San Marcos in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation in the University Honors Program by Karissa Michelle Reiter San Marcos, Texas May 2011 Abstract The industrial revolution introduced significant advances in the healthcare system, extending average life expectancy through the elimination or control of acute diseases. However, our food system was industrialized as well, replacing fresh foods with processed food products and omega-3 with omega-6 fatty acids in the diet, aggravating chronic disease. As interest the relationship between nutrition and health has risen among scientific study and in the public, the benefits of eating particular foods has become a hot topic in the media. However, media claims tend to be suggestive and lacking in hard evidence, so my project became an investigation of these suggestions for efficacy in peer-reviewed journal articles. I then compiled the scientific evidence for the effects of food on the mind and body and created purposeful recipes for the conscious eater. Eating on Purpose Nutritional neuroscience is the scientific examination of the relationships between human behavior and nutrition (Lieberman 2005).

    NUTB 243 – Nutrition, Brain & Behavior Tufts University, Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy Fall 2020 Instructor: Grace E. Giles, PhD Contact Information: [email protected], Skype or Zoom by arrangement Graduate Credits: 1.5 Semester hour units (SHUs) Prerequisites: NUTB 205 and NUTB 305, or permission of instructor Course Description: This course examines the bidirectional relationship between food consumption and human behavior, i.e. how our dietary choices influence behavior and vice versa. The semester will be divided into two components: (1) how nutrition impacts the brain and behavior and (2) how cognitions impact food choice and intake. Topics to be discussed during the semester include how macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, fat) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) influence brain function, as well as how we choose how much and what to eat, and in relation to normal and “disordered” eating. Course Objectives: ❖ Critically read peer-reviewed articles: By this point in your graduate career, you likely have experience reading and interpreting peer-reviewed articles. In this course, you will build on this skill by analyzing individual articles for strengths and weaknesses beyond those stated in the Discussion section, and learn how to synthesize the findings from a particular area of interest. ❖ Become a jack of all trades, and a master of one: In order to get a taste of the scope of research in the field of nutrition and behavior, you will read articles on a variety of topics, ranging from caffeine and cognitive performance to eating disorders and food restriction. You will also choose one topic you find interesting and delve into it in more depth.

A quantitative understanding of the behavioral changes upon metabolic challenges is key to a mechanistic dissection of how animals maintain nutritional homeostasis. We used an automated video tracking setup to characterize how amino acid and reproductive states interact to shape exploitation and exploration decisions taken by adult Drosophila melanogaster. We find that these two states have specific effects on the decisions to stop at and leave proteinaceous food patches. Furthermore, the internal nutrient state defines the exploration-exploitation trade-off: nutrient deprived flies focus on specific patches while satiated flies explore more globally. Finally, we show that olfaction mediates the efficient recognition of yeast as an appropriate protein source in mated females and that octopamine is specifically required to mediate homeostatic postmating responses without affecting internal nutrient sensing. Internal states therefore modulate specific aspects of exploitation and exploration to change nutrient selection. INTRODUCTION becomes particularly relevant in value-based decision making, such as nutrient balancing, where the value of the Nutrition is key for optimizing the evolutionary fitness of available options is dependent on the current needs of the animals.

  • Diet in Brain Health and Neurological Disorders: Risk Factors and Treatments
    brain sciences Editorial Diet in Brain Health and Neurological Disorders: Risk Factors and Treatments Jason Brandt Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA; [email protected] Received: 11 September 2019; Accepted: 11 September 2019; Published: 13 September 2019 The role of nutrition in health and disease has been appreciated from time immemorial. Around 400 B.C., Hippocrates wrote: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” In the 12th century, the great philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides wrote “any disease that can be treated by diet should be treated by no other means.” Now, in the 21st century, we are bombarded by claims in the media of “superfoods,” wondrous nutritional supplements, and special diets that promise to cure or prevent disease, improve health, and restore functioning. Much of the focus has been on neurological disease, brain health, and psychological functioning (behavior, cognition, and emotion). The hyperbole aside, the past two decades have seen considerable progress in our understanding of the role of specific nutrients and dietary patterns to brain development, physiology, and functioning [1–4]. The chapters in this volume are but a sampling of the latest research on the role of specific compounds and nutrients in brain function and dysfunction, and use of diet for the prevention and treatment of neurological and psychological disorders. The !-3 and !-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have long been recognized as essential to cell membranes and normal neuronal function. Deficiencies !-3 PUFAs have been associated with everything from mood disorders to schizophrenia to Alzheimer’s disease. Fuentes-Albero and colleagues [5] report that Spanish schoolchildren with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) consume diets that are lower in !-3 PUFAs than their peers without ADHD.
