“Here is the long list of the health/lifestyle factors that the data were adjusted for: maternal age, pre-pregnancy BMI, parity, education, smoking status during pregnancy, maternal prenatal fish intake (the mean of the first and second trimesters), household income at enrollment, and the child’s sex and race/ethnicity,child’s birth weight, maternal marital status, intelligence…”

“The study found that the holes where the arteries supplying the brain passed through have gradually increased from ancient fossil skulls to modern humans.”

“Intelligence scores increased among the children in the exercising groups, especially among those in the high dose (40-minute) group, whose scores increased approximately 3.8 points. No improvements were observed among those in the control group.”

“Some studies linked higher seafood intake to improved attention, reasoning, and verbal intelligence, although findings in those areas were less consistent. The researchers found little to no evidence regarding seafood intake during lactation, and results were mixed for outcomes such as movement, language, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder.”

“They also align with other research demonstrating that regular (daily or nearly daily) cigarette smoking increases relative brain aging, driving poor cognitive function and declines in fluid intelligence. Many habits like smoking (and overeating) can be broken using mindfulness techniques.”

“Higher iron levels in the basal ganglia were associated with slower executive function, lower fluid intelligence, and slower reaction times. Those who consumed more than 11 units of alcohol per week had higher iron levels in their livers.”

“Researchers tracked 1,300 of the participants' children from birth to the age of six. They tested the children on multiple domains of intelligence and collected information regarding maternal health and home life.”

“The study involved 121 elite chess players. Researchers measured the players' exposure to air pollutants during tournament play over a period of about three years. Then, using artificial intelligence, they assessed the players' performance during each of the tournaments.”

“In particular, those who took the nutritional supplement showed improvements in power, strength and endurance, mobility and stability, heart rate and lean muscle mass as well as episodic memory, fluid intelligence accuracy, executive function reaction time, and processing efficiency.”

“These increases in brain aging were associated with poor cognitive function and declines in fluid intelligence, the ability to creatively solve problems without prior knowledge or learning. They also identified two single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with accelerated brain aging.”
