Messy, quickly gone...& you wish you had more.  Late-night, just before eating is when I find information retention is best...related to the basic mechanism of hunger on brain centers such as the hippocampus.  Sleepy also helps...so both, combined.

'Beyond increasing appetite, ghrelin is also known to be associated with regulating metabolism, modulating inflammation, increasing cardiac effectiveness, and increasing the growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1. It therefore principally works as an energy consolidation hormone...'

'Remarkably, it has been observed by researchers that the ghrelin receptors are functioning in tandem with the dopamine receptors to allow for proper functioning of the hippocampus in memory consolidation, as well as synaptic reorganization and synaptic plasticity....refers to the brain’s ability to remain cognitively adaptive to new and different mental challenges. It does this by growing neurons and expanding neuronal connections.'

If you wanna learn: Do it when you're HUNGRY.

There's quite a bit of information that points to diet's role in inflammation, Alzheimer's, cognitive maintenance/optimization, cardiac health, overlapping metabolic-attenuated coordination of these effects on the systems individually & as a whole.  

Food for thought...& so much more.

So, a way to a man's heart is, literally, through his stomach.

Also, when human beings were in caves, they had to be cleaver to get their next meal. There is certainly something left from that within our primal brain

Yeah, any time you observe any hungry animal hunting, you can easily see it is definitely paying attention
