Abbott Labs Partners With Univ. Of Illinois To Research Impact Of Nutrition On Learning

Abbott Laboratories and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created a multi-disciplinary nutrition and cognition research center to explore the impact of nutrition on learning and memory in the human brain. The center will use two research facilities on the Urbana campus: the Institute for Genomic Biology and Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, plus the university's Division of Nutritional Sciences and Neuroscience Program. The center will call annually for proposals for projects designed to uncover innovative scientific research relating to nutrition's role in learning and memory.
