Impact of nutritious diet on cognition, emotion and neuronal network of brain

Cognitive neuroscience, the study of brain-behavior relationships, has long attempted to map the brain. The discipline is flourishing, with an increasing number of functional neuroimaging studies appearing in the scientific literature daily. Newly described influences of dietary factors on neuronal function and synaptic plasticity have revealed some of the vital mechanisms that are responsible for the action of diet on brain health and mental function. This review focuses on the relation of cognitive science and nutritional aspects. We have highlighted various studies which examined various types of food in form of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, folic acid etc. and their effect on functioning of brain. The current review has also summarized the consumption of processed food daily leading to various neurological disorders. Based on these data, the need for food industries to focus on research and development of nutritional strategies that are most appropriate to support our cognitive and emotional health.
