Full paper here.

>An increased brain 5-
HT turnover exhibited by almond-treated rats indicates
an increased release of 5-HT in these rats and hence
greater availability of 5-HT towards its respective
receptors. Almond is rich in TRP, which is an essential
amino acid, because it cannot be synthesized in vivo
and must be obtained from diet. It has been shown that
increased dietary availability of TRP increases 5-HT
metabolism and enhances cognitive performance.

Therefore, in the current study long term administra-
tion of almond increased brain 5-HT metabolism by
elevating TRP concentration and 5-HT turnover in the
brain and ultimately improved memory in rats

So it provides cognitive enhancement due to it being high in tryptophan.
