Excerpt

As an essential trace element, selenium (Se) possesses crucial physiological and pharmacological functions due to its excellent intrinsic properties, including antioxidation and anti-inflammation (Li et al. 2023). Recently, extensive research interests focus on beneficial effects of Se on cognitive function in children (Bai and Zhang 2023b) and adults (Zhang 2023). In addition, some scientific opinions have been proposed, such as cognitive benefit provided by Se-enriched foods (Bai and Zhang 2023a), strategies for enhancing beneficial cognitive effects of Se in combination with serine (Zhang and Bai 2023), and novel mechanism of Se on cognition via the modulation of intracephalic de novo synthesis of L-serine (Bai et al. 2023). The Se intake is a pivotal issue for the role of Se on cognition. …
