Brain cells need food to function. This course will dive into the latest research on dietary and metabolic factors that influence neural processing. We will cover a wide range of topics, including eating plans, cellular metabolism, and metabolic dysregulation. Our objective will be to evaluate the current state of knowledge, identify gaps, and explore how existing insights might be leveraged to enhance mental health.
