FUNCTIONAL IMPACT OF HIGH FAT AND HIGH SUGAR DIETS ON MEMORY ENCODING
Grant number: DP180101974 | Funding period: 2019 - 2022
Completed
Abstract
This project aims to determine the functional mechanisms of how fats and sugar affect neuronal processes vital for learning and memory. Expected outcomes will define the neural mechanisms underpinning cognitive changes in emotional and spatial memory encoding, and how these relate to brain and metabolic parameters. This will provide benefits by unveiling the possible consequences of dietary fat and sugar on the brain, and the mechanisms of neuroplasticity enhancing interventions.
