Preventing Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People: Progress and Possibilities
TL;DR: Mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) disorders—which include depression, conduct disorder, and substance abuse—affect large numbers of young people.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and their metabolites in brain function and disease
Richard P. Bazinet,Sophie Layé +1 more
TL;DR: Diet and drugs targeting PUFAs may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for the prevention and treatment of brain disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and major depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids: Dietary sources, metabolism, and significance - A review.
TL;DR: Major sources, intake, and global consumption of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs are summarized and their metabolism to biosynthesize long-chain PUF as and eicosanoids and their roles in brain metabolism, cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, and bone health are discussed.

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) from genesis to senescence: The influence of LCPUFA on neural development, aging, and neurodegeneration
TL;DR: This review shows that LCPUFA are essential throughout life, especially for neuronal membrane integrity and function, and also contribute in prevention of brain hypoperfusion.

The Role of Nutrition in Brain Development: The Golden Opportunity of the “First 1000 Days”
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed guidelines to support breastfeeding for infants during the first year and more oversight of the quality of food that children are offered from 1 to 3 years, when they are most vulnerable to the vagaries of parental diets.

TL;DR: Risks from the loss of nutrients were greater than the risks of harm from exposure to trace contaminants in 340 g seafood eaten weekly, suggesting that advice to limit seafood consumption could actually be detrimental.

Biochemical and functional effects of prenatal and postnatal omega 3 fatty acid deficiency on retina and brain in rhesus monkeys
TL;DR: It is suggested that dietary omega 3 fatty acids are retina and brain, and abnormally low levels of 22:6 omega 3 may produce alterations in the biophysical properties of photoreceptor and neural membranes that may underlie these functional impairments.
