Study on the effects of nutrition on brain health and intelligence in the elderly

with higher levels of serum loin performed better on crystal intelligence tests.study, published in the journal
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
, linked green leafy vegetable pigment intake in older adults to crystal intelligence, which refers to the ability to use the skills and knowledge learned.study was conducted by

previous studies have found that the state of serotonin in the human body is associated with cognitive performance throughout life. Studies have also shown that serotonin accumulates in the grayscale, which is the basis for maintaining the cognitive function of a healthy brain.
”The study invited
122,
healthy participants between the ages of
65
and
75 and
to answer questions about the crystal intelligence standard test. The researchers also collected blood samples from the subjects to determine their serum loin levels, and used
MRI (
MRI
)
to image the subjects' brains to detect the size of different brain structures.team focused on a portion of the cortical region, which other studies have shown has a role to play in maintaining crystalline intelligence.researchers found that subjects with higher levels of serotonin performed better on crystalline intelligence tests.
Zamroziewicz
believes that
, seroflycerine levels only reflect recent dietary intake, but they are associated with loculin concentrations in the brain in older adults and therefore can reflect long-term dietary intake.researchers reported that subjects with higher levels of serum loatin had thicker grays in the cerebral hippocata cort, while the region also played a role in healthy aging.Barbey

:Our analysis shows that the gray volume of the human right brain hippocupus cortogenes is associated with serotonin and crystal intelligence. It provides us with the first clue as to which specific areas of the brain are effective in maintaining crystalline intelligence and how factors such as diet play a role in this relationship.Zamroziewicz
says
:
"
Our results do not prove causality, but we do find that loiterin is associated with crystal intelligence through the hippoc marker cortical layer.
”Barbey says
"
"
we can only assume that serotonin in the diet affects brain structure. It may have anti-inflammatory effects or may assist in the completion of cell signal transduction. But our findings could prove that specific nutrients can slow cognitive decline due to age by affecting the characteristics of the aging brain.
