Abstract

There is increasing scientific interest in the hypothesis that very long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), as in fish or fish oil, are beneficial for the maintenance of cognitive performance. This study demonstrates changes in fatty acids levels during 25 min of mental activity (tests for cognitive performance and memory) with most significant variations in n-3 PUFA.
