08 Nov 2022 --- A pioneering study has produced novel insights into how brain metabolism relates to motivation levels in humans. Conducted by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne's (EPFL) School of Life Sciences and the Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences, the researchers suggest nutritional interventions targeting key oxidative processes could be effective interventions to facilitate improved motivational performance. Motivation levels are integral to personal development and general well-being, prompting much research in this space. However, until now, only a small part of that research has explored the connection with metabolism.
