Research on 1xbet 리뷰 relationship between breakfast and brain activity Joint research by Ryuta Kawashima, Professor, Tohoku University and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Saga Nutraceuticals Research Institute
In 1xbet 리뷰 experiment where changes in body temperature, feelings of fatigue, and ability to perform mental tasks resulting from consuming different types of meals were investigated, it was found that breakfast is crucial for effective functioning of 1xbet 리뷰 brain and body, with different types of meals affecting 1xbet 리뷰 body in different ways.
What factors cause 1xbet 리뷰se changes? Is it 1xbet 리뷰 nutritional balance of 1xbet 리뷰 meals?
To answer 1xbet 리뷰se questions, Otsuka Pharmaceutical conducted a joint research project with Dr. Ryuta Kawashima of Tohoku University's Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, on 1xbet 리뷰 effect of breakfast quality on cognitive function.
Using fMRI to measure 1xbet 리뷰 relationship between different types of breakfast and brain function
Three types of beverage were prepared as alternatives to a breakfast meal, in order to investigate 1xbet 리뷰 relationship between breakfasts with different nutritional values and brain function. Mental tasks such as doing mental arithmetic and taking simple memory tests were performed four times: before breakfast and 30, 90, and 180 minutes after breakfast. Brain function was measured at those times using fMRI*. 1xbet 리뷰 study subjects were six healthy university students who usually eat breakfast.

| Objective | To neuroscientifically test 1xbet 리뷰 relationship between 1xbet 리뷰 nutritional value of breakfast and brain function. |
|---|---|
| Subjects | Six healthy adult men 1xbet 리뷰 women with no habit of skipping breakfast Age: 21 (20-22) |
| Study design | Unblinded crossover study (r1xbet 리뷰om allocation)*
|
| Test articles | Each subject took 1xbet 리뷰 following three types of beverages with at least one week between tests. |

1xbet 리뷰 activity increased after drinking nutritionally balanced food (liquid type)
1xbet 리뷰 highlighted part of 1xbet 리뷰 illustration below shows 1xbet 리뷰 internal surface of 1xbet 리뷰 prefrontal cortex*. 1xbet 리뷰 graph on 1xbet 리뷰 right shows 1xbet 리뷰 difference in 1xbet 리뷰 prefrontal cortex activity after eating different breakfasts.
This clearly shows higher activity along 1xbet 리뷰 internal surface of 1xbet 리뷰 prefrontal cortex when 1xbet 리뷰 nutritionally balanced liquid food had been drunk compared to when 1xbet 리뷰 sugar solution or water was consumed.
- *1xbet 리뷰 prefrontal cortex is an area of 1xbet 리뷰 brain involved in active attention, intention, and ambition. Drops in activity in this area are said to be related to chronic fatigue.
fMRI data
1xbet 리뷰 study results confirmed that brain activity along 1xbet 리뷰 internal surface of 1xbet 리뷰 prefrontal cortex is higher when a liquid nutritionally balanced food containing a proper balance of 1xbet 리뷰 five major nutrients is drunk than when only sugar is taken.
While it was well known that sugar is important for improving 1xbet 리뷰 function, this study has
demonstrated neuroscientifically that it is more beneficial to have a nutritionally balanced meal.
Dr. Kawashima engages in research into functional brain imaging and functional brain development. He is also enthusiastically involved in social endeavors such as educating 1xbet 리뷰 public about brain science and launching joint projects between academia and industry aimed at helping older people maintain and improve brain function.
