Understanding Metabolomics for Cognitive Function
How the body’s chemical networks support thinking, memory, and focus Cognition — the set of processes that allows us to think, remember, and focus — is often discussed solely in terms of neural connectivity and brain structure. But at a deeper level, cognition has a biochemical foundation: metabolism. Metabolism refers to all chemical reactions in the body that convert nutrients into energy and signaling molecules. While the brain makes up roughly 2% of body weight, it consum
