Background: Human milk provides infants with a full complement of all polyunsaturated fatty
acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA). Formula milks only …

Several recent studies document a beneficial effect of breast-feeding on later
neurodevelopmental outcomes. The mechanisms involved are still in need of elucidation …

Aim: Breast milk is rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is selectively concentrated in
neuronal membranes and is thought to be necessary for optimal neurodevelopment. This …

Objectives: To compare the early neurological maturation of premature newborns (PT) fed
breast milk (BM) or a formula containing only 18-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids …

Objective. To determine whether brainstem maturation as measured by brainstem auditory-
evoked responses (BAERs) in preterm infants is a function of dietary intake. Study Design …

BACKGROUND: The requirement of essential fatty acids (EFA) for the development of the
brain is well documented. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the early neurological development at …

Objective. To determine whether dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA),
such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid, affect visual evoked potential …

It takes more than 20 years before the human brain obtains its complex, adult configuration.
Most dramatic developmental changes occur prenatally and early postnatally. During …

Although children who are breastfed have better neurodevelopmental outcomes, whether
this is a biological or nutritional effect, an environmental effect, a genetic effect, or some …

A direct influence of dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) on the
developmental quotient (DQ) of the healthy term infant remains unexplored. To test this …
