Food for the Brain Deep Dive - Bridging the Nutrition and Neurology Scientific Communities (Food for the Brain Collection)
Supported by an educational grant from Reckitt.
The effects of nutrition on the brain/nervous system across the lifespan from early development to healthy aging will be explored in this upcoming Deep Dive. This event includes multidisciplinary scientists whose work impacts the fields of nutrition, development, aging, and neuroscience.
This course is included in the Food for the Brain Collection.
