One study that opened new doors in creatine research was conducted by researchers at the University of Chichester in Sussex (1), where the purpose was to explore the impact of creatine
on the cognitive performance of elderly subjects.
While virtually every person reading this will probably have some awareness of the benefits of creatine for performance, relatively few will have encountered the studies that have looked at the effects of
creatine on cognitive performance.
We will adopt a two - tiered approach to address this hypothesis: 1) Apply multivariate analyses, newly developed in our laboratory, to study alterations in top - down modulation networks in aging, 2) Use TMS to transiently disrupt prefrontal regions identified with fMRI in young adults and assess the
consequences on cognitive performance and top - down modulation in sensory regions using EEG.
Kessler Foundation MS study documents negative effect of warmer weather on cognitive performance
«Our MS research aims to improve quality of life by developing effective non-invasive treatments, using the latest in brain imaging technology, to minimize the effects of
MS on cognitive performance.
The same researchers mentioned in the first study on creatine above also investigated the effects of creatine supplementation and sleep deprivation alongside mild
exercise on cognitive performance and bio-motor skills (3).

Only the women in the aerobic group were found to have significant increases in hippocampal volume, but more studies are needed to determine what effect this has
on cognitive performance.
Although randomized controlled trials investigating the acute effect of cocoa flavanols are sparse, most of them point towards a beneficial effect
on cognitive performance.
They have developed a cognitive test battery, known as Cognition, for the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) to measure the impact of typical spaceflight stressors (like microgravity, radiation, confinement and isolation, exposure to elevated levels of CO2, and sleep loss)
on cognitive performance.
Effects of Caffeine and Glucose, Alone and Combined,
on Cognitive Performance.
At the same time, I can honestly say I'm probably more stressed and sleep deprived now as a mom of six than I was in college and over the last few years I have researched and evaluated several natural types of nootropics for their effect
on cognitive performance (without the negative side effects of smart drugs).
When I learned from my friend Dave Asprey that his mycotoxin - free coffee, Bulletproof, was being studied by researchers at Stanford for its effect
on cognitive performance, I immediately ordered twenty pounds.
Dr. Greger, are there any studies showing that eating well has an IMMEDIATE effect
on cognitive performance?
