We investigate whether a change in diet could provide positive effects on general brain functions in healthy elderly people.
The age-related degradation of cognitive functions even to the point of neurodegenerative disorders such as alzheimer's disease are a growing public-health concern with potentially devastating effects.
Refering to animal data and empirical studies, a healthy diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids and low in calories should improve cognitive functions such as learning and memory. To test this hypothesis, we study general brain functions in healthy elderly subjects (50-80 years old) during a short term diet.
