Nutrition and cognitive development.
There has been recent intense interest in the possibility that infants receiving a dietary supply of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), either in breast milk or in a supplemented formula, may perform better on developmental tests than other infants. The only way to resolve this issue is in randomized trials in formula-fed babies, comparing those fed DHA-supplemented versus unsupplemented milks. To dat...
متن کاملThe Role of Nutrition in Cognitive Development
Nutrients are critical for optimal brain development and function. Although maintenance of adequate intake of all nutrients throughout life is important for brain health and function, certain nutrients have a more profound effect on brain development than others. The timing of nutrient supplementation or deprivation also has an important effect on brain development and function. Nutrient intake...

متن کاملNutrition and the development of cognitive functions: interpretation of behavioral studies in animals and human infants.
A rapidly accumulating body of evidence on the neural basis of cognition suggests that cognition is not a unitary function but rather depends on the functions of multiple and dissociable neural systems. The nonlinear interactions in the differing trajectories of these systems during development result in changing patterns of cognitive functions over time; they may also lead to paradoxical outco...
