    Are the effects of MFGM short-term only, or is there evidence for a long-term benefit?

    Renowned professor of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition, and endowed chair in pediatric research, Fayez K. Ghishan, MD, explains the structural components of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), highlighting the importance of MFGM bioactive proteins for immune development, as well as the impact on brain and cognitive development from bioactive lipids. Dr. Ghishan shares study results that demonstrate the impact of MFGM beyond infancy, with effects on neurocognitive and brain structure development. Milk fat globule membrane components Bioactive proteins and lipids within MFGM How MGFM lipids influence cognitive development Effects of MFGM beyond infancy

    What do the more advanced cognitive tests show related to how early exposure to DHA impacts later neurocognition? Does the timing and dose of DHA matter?

    Professor of psychology, John A. Colombo, PhD, who is affiliated with child language, clinical child psychology, and neuroscience doctoral programs, explains the importance of omega-3 DHA on brain development. Dr. Colombo reviews DHA studies and how outcomes are related to cognitive function, as well as how DHA relates to longer-term cognitive outcomes. Dr. Colombo describes advanced cognitive tests that target cognition in school-aged children, and how early exposure to DHA impacts later neurocognition.
