A look inside your brain

Your brain is a chemical factory that needs a steady supply of energy to keep it firing on all cylinders. Vitamins and minerals play an important role in maintaining information transfer, along the chemical pathways in the brain. The correct levels of these nutrients help to maintain brain function, including your memory, concentration, alertness and mood.

  • Information is carried to and from the brain by nerve impulses - tiny electrical signals that travel through the nerve cells.
  • Neurotransmitters such as adrenalin and serotonin carry the signals between nerve cells or from a nerve cell to a muscle cell.
  • A normal brain has 12 billion nerve fibres - 9 billion are in the central cortex where higher thought processes and information processing take place.
