Speaker (Richard Johnson, MD, via Dr. Ron Najafi upload) reports that rats given high fructose for about eight weeks show impaired ability to learn/complete mazes — increased latency and failure to improve with repeated trials. He links this behavioral deficit to brain insulin resistance, oxidative stress, decreased ATP production and blocked ATP regeneration, paralleling systemic effects of fructose.
