Full event details

In this talk, Professor Jeremy Spencer will explore the science to answer whether something eaten at breakfast, for example, can influence the way blood vessels function or the brain responds hours later. Whether you are interested in biology, fascinated by the brain, or simply curious about what you eat, join us to discover the remarkable connections between diet, the heart and the mind — and why understanding those connections could help us make better choices for lifelong health.
