The Interplay between Metabolism, Cognition, and the Brain throughout an Individual's Life Span

Brady James*

The articles in this particular issue provide a comprehensive and informative analysis of the intricate connections between brain function and metabolic health. The changes in metabolism and components associated with metabolic syndrome play a crucial and fascinating role in the development and prognosis of neurodegeneration and cognition. This includes the inheritance of epigenetic traits across generations, abnormalities in brain development during youth, and disorders that affect adult brain health. Furthermore, lifestyle modifications and other treatment options hold significant potential in preventing neurological consequences resulting from conditions like diabetes, obesity, stress, and other factors that impact metabolic health. While some of these concepts are still in their early stages, the wealth of knowledge obtained from recent and ongoing research is highly promising. We consider this subject matter to be enlightening and thought-provoking, and we eagerly anticipate further advancements in our understanding of the relationship between metabolism, cognition, and the brain throughout the lifespan
