Brazil nuts come from the Bertholletia excelsa tree, which is in the Lecythidaceae family and found in the Amazon. In Brazil, they are known as semilla de Brazil, which means Brazilian seed. Brazil nuts are often eaten raw or blanched, and although they are called nuts they are actually seeds. In the tropics, monkeys and birds eat the nuts. They are much larger than almonds or peanuts, and resemble coconuts, growing to be up to 5 lbs and each pod can hold up to 12-20 seeds.

DiscussionHere, we provide direct support for the hypothesis that build-up rates of sensory evidence accumulation are a critical neurophysiological mechanism underpinning the preservation of response speed in older adults. First, sensory evidence accumulation was not only directly related to response speed in older adults but also had an indirect impact on performance by modulating subsequent neurophysiological processes, namely, the decision criterion and the timing of the motor response.

AbstractOlder adults exposed to enriched environments (EE) maintain relatively higher levels of cognitive function, even in the face of compromised markers of brain health. Response speed (RS) is often used as a simple proxy to measure the preservation of global cognitive function in older adults. However, it is unknown which specific selection, decision, and/or motor processes provide the most specific indices of neurocognitive health.
