TL;DR: This review examines the current evidence for a possible connection between nutritional intake (including micronutrients and whole diet) and neurocognitive development in childhood and concludes that malnutrition can impair cognitive development, whilst breastfeeding appears to be beneficial for cognition.

TL;DR: Higher dietary intake of the 'Western' dietary pattern at age 14 is associated with diminished cognitive performance 3 years later, at 17 years, and high intake of fried potato, crisps and red meat had negative associations, while increased fruit and leafy green vegetable intake had positive associations with some aspects of cognitive performance.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diet during the first 3 years of life and cognitive outcomes at 10 years of age.

TL;DR: Investigating the long-term associations between breastfeeding duration during infancy, diet quality as measured by a diet score at 1 year of age, and cognitive performance during adolescence found nutrition in early childhood may have a long- term association with fundamental cognitive processing speed, which is likely to be related to enhanced brain development in the first year of life.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between early diet and academic performance during childhood and found no clear link between diet and academics during childhood.
