Abstract
In the last few years, there has been a lot of interest in the effect of nutrition on cognitive function, as it affects insulin signals inside the body, whose role is not limited to controlling blood glucose levels but also extends to the learning process and cognitive function. Nutrition-induced insulin resistance is one of the present diseases, which impairs brain insulin signaling and leads to various forms of dementia. This review discusses the different roles of insulin inside the body, the negative effect of insulin resistance on brain function, and the use of some drugs that may improve cognitive dysfunction.
