Cognition and intelligence is something many people take for granted. Both cognition and intelligence are complex neurophysiological processes which involve multiple regions and networks in the brain. Cognition may be categorized into various different forms including some which are conscious, and others which are unconscious. Understanding the relationship between cognition, intelligence and brain function allows clinicians to better diagnose and treat a variety of conditions in order to improve human functionality.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is becoming more common and nutrition can play a large role post injury and potentially before. When a TBI occurs, the brain has to rapidly deal with two massive issues: The first is the metabolic insult via glucose metabolism going “offline” thus imparting an energy crisis. The brain loves to use glucose as its primary fuel, but after a TBI the metabolic pathways that are typically used to create energy from glucose are disrupted. The second is the potential opening of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and neuro-inflammation.
Humans spend approximately 80% of their waking hours fixating their gaze. The ability to fixate is a fine calibration that is disrupted in patients of various neurological and neurodegenerative disorders who display increased gaze instability during the attempt to fixate. Understanding visual fixation dynamics is critical to advancing current knowledge in oculomotor and visual function in order to understand and help your patients suffering from neurological conditions.
Your visual system relays information to your nervous system, along with vestibular inputs, proprioceptive inputs, and more, to orientate oneself in this world.
