Omega 3 Fatty Acids in Brain and Neurologic Health

Research on Omega 3 Fatty Acid and general health, especially cardiovascular, has clearly established a link between Omega 3 and general health. This collection provides the first book to focus exclusively on the role of Omega 3 Fatty acid on general brain health. Research has established links between Omega 3 Fatty Acid and the developing brain, ageing, dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and multiple sclerosis. The complete understanding of Omega 3 Fatty Acid on the brain and neurologic health is yet to be defined and this collection provides a starting point for future research. * The 1st book length collection of original research on the connection between Omega 3 Fatty Acid and the brain.* Provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of research on Omega 3 Fatty Acid and the brain and directions for future research.* A foundational collection for neuroscience, neurology and nutrition research.
