Research has clearly established a link between omega-3 fatty acids
and general health, particularly cardiovascular health. _Omega-3 Fatty
Acids in Brain and Neurological Health_ is the first book to focus
exclusively on the role of omega-3 fatty acids on general brain
health. The articles in this collection illustrate omega-3 fatty
acids' importance in longevity, cognitive impairment, and structure
and function of the brain's neurons.
Research has established links between omega-3 fatty acids and the
developing brain, aging, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and multiple
sclerosis. This book encompasses some of the most recent research,
including the role of omega-3 fatty acid supplements on hippocampal
neurogenesis, substantia nigra modulation, migraine headaches, the
developing brain in animals, sleep, and neurodegenerative diseases.
This collection helps to push research forward toward a complete
understanding of omega-3 fatty acids' relationship to brain and
neurological health.
