Information For Medical/Academic Researchers

Our unique database of research covers more than two decades of studies into the links between nutrition and behaviour.

Searchable by topic or author, you can find research abstracts (linking to the original research), with additional links to both corresponding news articles and related research papers, books and other resources.

So this website provides a cross-referenced database of work, illustrating how food, diet and nutrition affect brain development and function, and therefore mood, behaviour and learning.

New information is added each week, so to stay updated:
