Prior to the neurotransmitter role of 5-HT, it plays critical roles as a trophic factor modulating neuronal differentiation and growth, therefore it is conceivable that changes in 5-HT via altered levels of the serotonin transporter during critical periods of development alters brain function and increases vulnerability to affective disorders later in life [30].
Reduced elasticity may alter steady state blood flow to the brain which may affect the delivery of sufficient nutrients, impacting brain function and increasing feelings of fatigue.
In older adults, too, research has shown that low vitamin D levels are associated with poorer brain function, and increasing levels may help keep older adults mentally fit.
Therefore, we can speculate that the interaction among rs1931565, rs4505578 and APOE may affect some brain functions and therefore increase the LOAD risk.
There have been suggestions that seizures in some way modify brain function and that each seizure increases the risk for further seizures.
This can help increase brain function and the ability to solve problems faster.
When drivers engage in complex multitasking, they experience a decrease in brain function and reaction time, and an increase in crash risk, according to a recent study by the American Automobile Association and the University of Utah.
Some "super foods" that help increase brain function and longevity include: blueberries, salmon, nuts and seeds, avocados, pomegranate juice, green tea, and dark chocolate.[3] You may consider chomping down on one or two of these as part of your breakfast.
Difficult, new tasks increases brain function and memory retention.
In sum, we propose that the multidimensional increases in brain function and structure are driven by task-dependent brain activation during training that increases resting brain network synchrony.
