Explanation / Answer
If some body states that the paper titled " Brain foods : the effect of nutrients on brain functions " confirms W.Glannon ' allegation expressed on " our brains are not us" is true because "Brain foods : the effect of nutrients on brain function" does not concieve that brain as an integral part our system includes rest of the body .
It can be understand by some scientific examples given below :- example 1- omega-3 fatty acid is garnering appreciation for supporting cognitive process in humans and upregulating gene that are important for maintaining synaptic function.
2. In a set of studies in Nepal, children whose mother received iron/folic acid supplement during pregnancy scored better on multiple tests of intellectual, executive and motor function with compared placebo effect control.
These two examples prove that brain & its related factors would be better if perfect food nutient taken in diet so, we can say " our brain is not us " it affects by different factors nutrients& environment in we live.
