According to researches performed by Bourre J.M. (Neuro-pharmaco-nutritionist), he observed the following relationships between vitamins and cognitive performance.

(i) vitamins B12, B6, A, and E ensure a better visuo-spatial memory and improve abstraction test results

(ii) vitamin C improves visuo-spatial performance

(iii) thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), and the folates improve the level of abstract thought and lead to a more favourable biochemical status

The foods are

beans, lentils, okra, citrus fruits, peas, avocado, brussels sprout, dark leafy green, maize, chickpeas, almonds, chestnuts, cress, spinach, leeks, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower

liver, milk, butter, eggs, some cheeses, and fish; while green vegetables, carrots, coloured tubers, yellow fruit, and oranges are rich sources of carotenoids.
