Breakfast, blood glucose and memory

Biol Psychol. 1992 Jul;33(2-3):207-10. doi: 10.1016/0301-0511(92)90032-p.

Abstract

The hypothesis that blood glucose levels influence memory was re-examined. The performance on two memory tests was quicker when breakfast had been taken, suggesting that the ability to retrieve memories had been facilitated. Performance on a spatial memory test correlated significantly with blood glucose levels.
