A group motivated to understand the needs of the aging brain
Different scanning technologies allow us to understand the functioning of the brain as a unique window on this complex organ.
Paper-and-pencil tests or even on electronic tablets make it possible to evaluate memory and other brain faculties such as attention, orientation, etc.
Medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and ketone salts are two types of supplements that help increase ketones in the blood. In the laboratory, we evaluate and use quality products to obtain conclusive results.
The brain is mainly fueled with glucose or, simply, sugar. However, it has been known for several years now that the brain prefers to use ketones, derived from fat, for energy.
As the human brain ages, it changes and its ability to use glucose is weakened. A problem that is even more marked in people with Alzheimer’s disease
Knowing that ketones remain a fuel of choice for the aging brain, our team is studying various strategies to close the problematic energy gap.

Finding Alternative Fuel for the Brain
Clinical studies or clinical research are evaluating new strategies to identify, prevent, treat or manage a disease with the aim of improving the health of people. A clinical study is research in which you freely agree to participate. However, without the voluntary participation of people, studies cannot exist.
