Mechanisms by which aggressive and depressive disorders may be exacerbated by
nutritional deficiencies in omega-3 fatty acids are considered. Early developmental …

Defects in neuronal activity of the entorhinal cortex (EC) are suspected to underlie the
symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whereas neuroprotective effects of …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of the omega-3 series and omega-6 series modulate
