“…Given that the BRIEF is not subject to adolescents' self-report bias, our finding is notable in that it lends a degree of external validity to our results. Others have reported associations between omega-3 fatty acid status and selfreported impulsivity in adults (Conklin, Harris, et al, 2007) and in children (Gispert-llaurado et al, 2016). Together with previous studies, the present results support a role for omega-3 fatty acid status in generalized impulse regulation.…”

“…Low blood levels of DHA are associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children (Burgess, Stevens, Zhang, & Peck, 2000;Chen, Hsu, Hsu, Hwang, & Yang, 2004;Stevens et al, 1995) and self-reported impulsivity in adults (Conklin, Harris, et al, 2007). Moreover, low intake of dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids produces impulsive behaviors in animal models (Levant, Zarcone, & Fowler, 2010) and is associated with externalizing behaviors in children (Gispert-llaurado et al, 2016). Supplementation has been shown to improve impulse control task performance in adults (Fontani et al, 2005).…”

Impulse control, an emergent function modulated by the prefrontal cortex (PFC), helps to dampen risky behaviors during adolescence. Influences on PFC maturation during this period may contribute to variations in impulse control. Availability of omega-3 fatty acids, an essential dietary nutrient integral to neuronal structure and function, may be one such influence. This study examined whether intake of energy-adjusted long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) was related to variation in impulse control and PFC activity during performance of an inhibitory task in adolescents (n= 87; 51.7% female, mean age 13.3+1.1 years) enrolled in a longitudinal neuroimaging study. Intake of DHA+EPA was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire and adjusted for total energy intake. Inhibitory control was assessed using caregiver rating scale (BRIEF Inhibit subscale) and task performance (false alarm rate) on a Go/No-Go task performed during functional MRI.Reported intake of long-chain omega-3 was positively associated with caregiver ratings of adolescent ability to control impulses (p=0.017) and there was a trend for an association between intake and task-based impulse control (p=0.072). Furthermore, a regression of BOLD response within PFC during successful impulse control (Correct No-Go versus Incorrect NoGo) with energy-adjusted DHA+EPA intake revealed that adolescents reporting lower intakes display greater activation in the dorsal anterior cingulate, potentially suggestive of a possible lag in cortical development. The present results suggest that dietary omega-3 fatty acids are related to development of both impulse control and function of the dorsal anterior cingulate gyrus in normative adolescent development. Insufficiency of dietary omega-3 fatty acids during this developmental period may be a factor which hinders development of behavioral control.

“…Problems such as depression, memory loss, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and visual disorders arise from the decrease of DHA level in brain cells (Kaya et al, 2004). Children who consumed fish at least twice a week, including one of the fatty fish, were found to be less likely to show emotional and behavioral problems than those did not (Gispert-Llaurado et al, 2016). Rendeiro et al (2016) suggested that a diet rich in omega-3 PUFAs might help cure neurogenic deficits induced by chemotherapy.…”

“…A crosssectional study of Swedish adolescents reported significantly higher grades among participants with more frequent fish intake [3]. A six-country European study of elementary school children reported negative associations of fatty fish consumption with emotional and behavioural problems [14]. The Cape Code Health Study have also found high childhood intake of fish associated with some cognitive benefits in adulthood [15].…”
