In the inaugural episode of Making Synapses we discuss different carbohydrates and their impacts on cognitive factors including mood, motivation and energy through the lens of biochemical changes, specifically talking the neurotransmitters and hormones: serotonin, dopamine, cortisol, and insulin.
The roadmap of Making Synapses Ep.1 is as follows:
The effect of High Glycemic Load meals on biochemical response with regard to cognitive function
The effect of Low Glycemic Load meals on biochemical response with regard to cognitive function.
