Mirtilo, Blueberry, Saúde, Cérebro, Neurogênese, NeuroplasticidadeResumo
Na última década, diversos estudos sobre alimentos para a saúde tem demonstrado que o mirtilo (blueberry) apresenta uma série de benefícios para a saúde humana. Nesse sentido, iremos verificar nesse artigo o papel dos mirtilos na saúde cerebral, com ênfase na formação de novos neurônios.
