Opis

Great strides have been made in the field of natural medicine with respect to neurocognition. Bringing together the work of contributors from around the globe, this book examines developments related to cognitive aging; the neurocognitive effects of isolated compounds, including N-acetylcysteine and lipoic acid; the effect of supplementation with multivitamins on cognitive health; and the impact of agents that improve metabolic activity in the context of neurocognitive function. It also examines the effects of essential fatty acids, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Indian herbs, and herbal extracts on intelligence, memory, cognition, and brain functioning.
