ABSTRACT
Neurobiologists have long established that the interactions necessary to develop both the organization and the function of the brain are present in a complex environment, mainly organic but also “sociocognitive.” During childhood and adolescence, the brain continues its organization and neurobiological adaptation to the surrounding world under the control of endogenous and exogenous influences essential for regular development. The question once asked whether cognitive functions are genetically determined is no longer relevant; now, there must be added the questions of when and how are they influenced by the environment and more precisely by nutrients.
