"DISTRIBUTION OF FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF PHOSPHOGLYCERIDES IN NORMAL HUMAN BRAIN"
http://www.jlr.org/c...0.full.pdf htmlThis study shows that infants have the highest levels of brain 22:5 fatty acids (DPA), which decline during our lifetime.
Supplementation would probably elevate your brain levels of 22:5; I don't know if this is a good or bad thing though.
In my own opinion, it'd be a beneficial supplement.
Higher omega-3 fatty acids have shown to increase neurogenesis, intelligence, cognitive capacity, memory and recovery of the central nervous system. You've probably heard of the omega-3 hypothesis of schizophrenia as well.
I've noticed a great leap in progression in my mental capacity since I started supplementing with fish oil as well increased gains in strength.
Please post any interesting conclusions you make on this subject, since I'm also very interested in this field of research.
