Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Breakfast is often labelled the most important meal of the day.

Parents and teachers quite often stress its importance for successful learning during the morning hours. With declining numbers of children and especially adolescents eating breakfast regularly, the study examines the influence of breakfast consumption on cognition and mood of high school students.
