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.
