Abstract
The
central nervous system plays a key and important role in regulating
dietary energy consumption. Studies in the literature have shown that
high calorie intake is deleterious to the physiological function of
neurons. On the other hand, low-calorie intake has demonstrated to be
beneficial, protecting neurons against harmful effects that could lead
to the development of neurodegeneration. This chapter aimed to review
the main aspects of dietary energy restriction protocols, such as
intermittent fasting and calorie restriction, in relation to neuronal
plasticity, cognition, and neurodegeneration.
