Clinical Pearls: The Interplay of Nutrition, Brain Development, and Cognition

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.

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.
