  2. Advances in molecular biology have revealed the ability of food-derived signals to influence energy metabolism and synaptic plasticity and, thus, mediate the effects of food on cognitive function, which is likely to have been crucial for the evolution of the modern brain.

  3. Energy intake and specific nutrients excess or deficiency from diet differently affect cognitive processes, emotions, behaviour, neuroendocrine functions and synaptic plasticity with possible protective or detrimental effects on neuronal physiology.

  4. Jun 1, 2021 · In sum, dietary macronutrient intake affects cognitive functions and behavior via neurotransmitters directly, and in the case of serotonin indirectly via insulin metabolism. Most elucidated are effects on dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways via tyrosine and tryptophan.
