Response variability to glucose facilitation of cognitive enhancement.
Glucose facilitation of cognitive function has been widely reported in previous studies (including our own). However, several studies have also failed to detect glucose facilitation. There is sparsity of research examining the factors that modify the effect of glucose on cognition. The aims of the present study were to (1) demonstrate the previously observed enhancement of cognition through glu...
متن کاملGlucose enhancement of human memory: a comprehensive research review of the glucose memory facilitation effect.
The brain relies upon glucose as its primary fuel. In recent years, a rich literature has developed from both human and animal studies indicating that increases in circulating blood glucose can facilitate cognitive functioning. This phenomenon has been termed the 'glucose memory facilitation effect'. The purpose of this review is to discuss a number of salient studies which have investigated th...
متن کاملGlucose and Cognition: An ERP Investigation of the Neuro-Cognitive Mechanisms Mediating the Glucose Facilitation Effect
The ingestion of a glucose containing drink has been shown to improve performance on a variety of cognitive tasks (see Riby, 2004 for review). However, it has proven difficult to draw firm conclusions from this literature due to the diversity of methodologies that have been used. So, although evidence suggests that moderate increases in blood glucose enhance cognitive performance, there is deba...
متن کاملFacilitation of AMPA Receptor Synaptic Delivery as a Molecular Mechanism for Cognitive Enhancement
Cell adhesion molecules and downstream growth factor-dependent signaling are critical for brain development and synaptic plasticity, and they have been linked to cognitive function in adult animals. We have previously developed a mimetic peptide (FGL) from the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) that enhances spatial learning and memory in rats. We have now investigated the cellular and molecu...
متن کاملRole of glucose in chewing gum-related facilitation of cognitive function.
This study tests the hypothesis that chewing gum leads to cognitive benefits through improved delivery of glucose to the brain, by comparing the cognitive performance effects of gum and glucose administered separately and together. Participants completed a battery of cognitive tests in a fully related 2 x 2 design, where one factor was Chewing Gum (gum vs. mint sweet) and the other factor was G...
