    • Abstract:
      This article provides an overview of the literature on the relation between intelligence and nutrition. The first two sections introduce some data on the prevalence of malnutrition across the planet, and show how studies of animal cognition can help to understand the impact of malnutrition on human cognitive functioning. The third section introduces the effects of general "denutrition" and of iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamin deficiencies. The last two sections emphasize the impact of breastfeeding on intellectual and academic performance, and the importance of breakfast with regard to the ability to learn. Dans cet article, divise en cinq parties de longueur inegale, les auteurs recensent les ecrits sur les relations entre l'intelligence et la nutrition. Dans les deux premieres parties, ils presentent brievement les donnees sur l'ampleur de la malnutrition dans le monde et l'apport des etudes des fonctions cognitives chez l'animal pour la comprehension de l'effet de la malnutrition chez l'humain. La troisieme partie, plus substantielle, est consacree aux effets d'une denutrition generale, d'une carence en fer, en zinc et en iode ainsi qu'aux effets des vitamines sur l'intelligence. Au cours des deux dernieres parties, les auteurs mettent en evidence l'importance d'une part de l'allaitement maternel sur les performances intellectuelles et academiques et, d'autre part, du petit dejeuner sur les capacites d'apprentissage.
