A team of researchers from Northumbria University and Sheffield Hallam University in the U.K., Sunway University in Malaysia, and NeuroCognitive Institute in the U.S. investigated whether impulsivity and blood glucose could affect behavioral flexibility. The team published their findings in the journal Nutrition Research.
In conclusion, the results suggested that measures of impulsivity and blood glucose regulation can be used to predict behavioral flexibility.
