The influence of nutrition on cognition and behaviour is a topic of
increasing interest. Emerging evidence indicates that nutrition in
early life can influence later mental performance and that diet in
later life can reduce cognitive decline. Lifetime nutritional
influences on cognition, behaviour and psychiatric illness reviews
the latest research into the effects of nutrition on cognition and
behaviour across the lifespan and on psychiatric illness. Part one
investigates nutritional influences on brain development and
cognition including the effects of early diet and the impact of key
dietary consistuents including long-chain polyunsaturated fatty
acids and iron. Part two explores the link between diet, mood and
cognition discussing carbohydrate consumption, mood and anti-social
behaviour, hydration and mental performance and the neurocognitive
effects of herbal extracts, among other topics. Part three examines
nutritional influences on behavioural problems, psychiatric illness
and cognitive decline, including the role of nutrition in attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder, vitamin status and psychiatric
disorders, antioxidants and dementia, and depression, suicide and
fatty acids. With its distinguished editor and international team
of expert contributors, Lifetime nutritional influences on
cognition, behaviour and psychiatric illness is a valuable
reference tool for researchers working on the effects of diet on
the brain in both academia and industry and may also appeal to
dieticians and nutritionists.
