Opis

Scientific and commercial interest in the field of nutritional neuroscience has grown exponentially in the last 10 years. An extremely broad and diverse range of dietary supplements can be found not only at specialty health food stores, but also at virtually all pharmacies, supermarkets, and general merchandise outlets. The only comprehensive reference on this subject, this text discusses all aspects of nutritional neuroscience, including methods for assessment of neurophysiological effects and behavior, the effects of diet and particular nutrients on various aspects of brain function, cognition, and development as well as the interaction with feeding behavior, in children and the aging.
