Serotonin regulates a wide variety of brain functions and behaviors. Here, we synthesize
previous findings that serotonin regulates executive function, sensory gating, and social …

This review focuses on the metabolism of n-3 fatty acids and attempts to review the current
understanding of how the n-3 fatty acid content of neuronal membranes is regulated …

Background Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids improve brain functioning in animal
studies, but there is limited study of whether this type of fat protects against Alzheimer …

The changing of omega‐6/omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the food supply of
Western societies occurred over the last 150 years is thought to promote the pathogenesis of …

The principle omega-3 fatty acid in brain, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), accumulates in the
brain during perinatal cortical expansion and maturation. Animal studies have demonstrated …

Linoleic and α-linolenic acid are essential for normal cellular function, and act as precursors
for the synthesis of longer chained polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as arachidonic …

Major depression and anxiety disorders have high prevalence rates and are frequently
comorbid. The neurobiological bases for these disorders are not fully understood, and …

The role of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA) in neurogenesis and
