Polyunsaturated fatty acids and cognition animal studies

2 Polyunsaturated fatty acids and cognition animal studies 

In addition to plant-derived polyphenols, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) represent another potential dietary intervention to forestall age-related neuronal and cognitive 

In summary, foods high in polyphenolic compounds, such as berries and grapes, and perhaps walnuts, may represent an important alternative or adjunctive therapy for the prevention and treatment of age-related brain dysfunction. Berry fruits have been shown to be effective in improving motor and cognitive performance in aged animals
