The role of essential fatty acids in neural development: implications for perinatal nutrition.
TLDR
Proper provision should be made to protect the AA and DHA status of both term and preterm infants to ensure optimum conditions for the development of membrane-rich systems such as the brain, nervous, and vascular systems.About:

Breast-feeding and cognitive development: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of observed differences in cognitive development between breast-fed and formula-fed children indicated that, after adjustment for appropriate key cofactors, breast-feeding was associated with significantly higher scores for cognitive development than was formula feeding.
Evidence on the long-term effects of breastfeeding SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS AND META-ANALYSES
TL;DR: Evidence on the long-term effects of breastfeeding : systematic review and meta-analyses / Bernardo L. Horta ... [et al].
Long-term effects of breastfeeding: a systematic review
TL;DR: In 2007, WHO carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis on the long-term consequences of breastfeeding and the methods, results and conclusions were described.

Lipids in human milk.
TL;DR: It is noteworthy that so few papers on milk FA composition have reported analyses using high-resolution gas-liquid chromatography columns, and two of these were on milk from women in North America.
Book
The Lipids of Human Milk
TL;DR: In this paper, methods for determining, isolating and identifying human milk lipids, together with problems associated with sampling and analysis, are described in some detail in the first three chapters of this book.

The Essentiality of N-3 Fatty Acids for the Development and Function of the Retina and Brain
TL;DR: Information is provided on how the properties of DHA-rich Membranes, including their biophysical properties, affect their ability to secrete non-volatile substances such as polyene and polymethine.

The Effects of Dietary α-Linolenic Acid on the Composition of Nerve Membranes, Enzymatic Activity, Amplitude of Electrophysiological Parameters, Resistance to Poisons and Performance of Learning Tasks in Rats
Jean-Marie Bourre,Marianne Francois,A. Youyou,Odile Dumont,M. Piciotti,Gérard Pascal,Georges Durand +6 more
TL;DR: Rats fed a diet low in alpha-linolenic acid showed an earlier mortality in response to an intraperitoneal injection of a neurotoxin, triethyltin, than did rats fed a normal soybean oil diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential oxidation of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in vivo in the rat.
TL;DR: The oxidation rates of lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, alpha-linolenic, linoleic, kappa-linorenic, dihomo-gamma-Linolenic and arachidonic acids were studied by use of a radioisotope tracer technique in weanling rats at rest in a metabolism chamber over 24 h.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of dietary omega-3 fatty acids on retinal function of very-low-birth-weight neonates.
TL;DR: An essential role for ω-3 fatty acids in retinal development is supported by electroretinogram results and the fatty acid composition of plasma and red blood cell (RBC) lipids were similar for all groups on entry but marked dietinduced differences were found after feeding the study diets.

Effect of Very Low Birth Weight and Subnormal Head Size on Cognitive Abilities at School Age
Maureen Hack,Naomi Breslau,Barbara N. Weissman,Dorothy M. Aram,Nancy Klein,Elaine A. Borawski +5 more
TL;DR: In very-low-birth-weight infants, perinatal growth failure, as evidenced by a subnormal head circumference at eight months of age, is associated with poor cognitive function, academic achievement, and behavior at eight years of age.
