“High levels of monounsaturated fatty acids are known to increase metabolism in regions within the dorsal attention network. Functional connectivity within both the frontoparietal cortex and the dorsal attention network underlie general intelligence.”

“New research suggests that a new artificial intelligence tool can help diagnose Parkinson's disease well before symptoms manifest, with 96 percent accuracy. Researchers used machine learning to analyze metabolites – byproducts of metabolism – in the blood of 78 people, half of whom had Parkinson's disease.”

“Breastfeeding benefits mothers and infants Infant benefits of breastfeeding As one would expect, breastfeeding provides a wide range of benefits to infants, including enhanced neurological development, evidenced by children who were breastfed as infants scoring nearly three points higher on intelligence tests than those who were not breastfed…”

“This takes on special relevance for omega-3 fatty acids, which play critical roles in brain development. Evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids in breast milk increase brain volumes in multiple regions of the brain and might influence intelligence, behavior, and communication.”

“The sample included only 20 children, so the finding supports adequate prenatal choline and further study, not a universal high-dose intelligence claim. Together, vigorous exercise, nutrient sufficiency, berries, cocoa flavanols, carotenoid-rich foods, choline, and marine omega-3s form a layered approach.”

“Children who were breastfed for 12 months or longer scored higher on standardized intelligence tests – even in their teens, according to a new study. These findings held true even after considering other factors that might influence intelligence.”

“Similarly, boys whose mothers were overweight or obese during pregnancy scored 5 or more points lower on intelligence tests, compared to boys whose mothers were a healthy weight. Girls did not exhibit differences in motor skills or intelligence.”

“The authors of the study found that daily cheese consumption provided the most protection against age-related fluid intelligence losses. They also found that alcohol consumption, especially red wine, provided protection.”

“Because of the polymorphism's tie to longevity, initially they were looking for an effect on cognitive decline -- not intelligence. This was a surprise, because the effect on intelligence (IQ) was irrespective of age.”

“Then, using an imaging technique called voxel-based morphometry, they measured the participants' locus coeruleus volumes. They found that the participants with greater locus coeruleus volumes tended to have more openness and higher intelligence, regardless of age, gender, or total brain volume.”
