Dr Piril Hepsomali, University of Reading, said: "We can eat ourselves well! Ultimately, we see that people who have an unhealthy diet -- high in sugar and saturated fat -- have imbalanced excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, as well as reduced volume of grey matter in the frontal part of the brain.

We also do not understand fully why some individuals have markedly adverse complications to psilocybin, known as 'bad trips,' that can lead to harm to the individual taking or others who may be victims of violent behavior."
"In neurons, the transport process of mitochondria is determining, since these organelles must be present along all axons and dendrites -- neuron extensions -- to provide energy to the neurotransmission and the neuronal functions, processes that require a lot of energy. This great consumption depends on a specific and precise distribution of mitochondria within neurons," notes Soriano, co-director of the study and member of the Department of Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology at the UB's Faculty of Biology.
