Each serving of this formula contains 105 mg of calcium, 1.8 mg of iron, and 24 mg of choline (a chemical that plays a key role
in brain development).
Since DHA and ARA have a role
in brain development and are present in breast milk, researchers felt that supplementing formula with these compounds may, like breast milk, make a difference in a child's IQ down the line.
One of the reasons that make it valuable is that it aids
in brain development and also aids the infant's body with the absorption of the fat - soluble vitamins.
Limitations in tools used to track early development and subtle differences
in brain development that become more noticeable with age may also help explain the lack of observable developmental differences before 24 months, researchers say.
It has been proven to fight free radicals and aide
in brain development.
Blubber contains omega 3 fatty acids which aide
in brain development and vitamin D that is essential to consume when many months of the year are spent living with very little sunlight.
It can cause abnormalities
in brain development, physical growth, and facial features.
DHA is commonly found in breast milk and infant formulas because of the significant role it plays
in brain development.
Well, it means that DHA helps
in brain development.

in brain development of nerve cells that are responsible for heart and lung function.

in brain development.

in brain development, and breast - fed babies are less likely to get gastrointestinal infections and diarrhea, respiratory and ear infections or more serious diseases such as pneumonia, and there is a lower risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
No differences
in brain development or physical development have been found in infants of women with sleep apnea during pregnancy.
In addition, some types of fatty acids found in breast milk — the long - chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, or LCPs — may play important roles
in brain development.
«This adds to the mounting evidence that DHA plays an important part
in brain development,» he says.
They are also a natural source of choline, which plays an important role
in brain development.
«What's really exciting about this was that the activity differences were detected at a critical time
in brain development: when neural progenitor cells are proliferating and expanding in number, just prior to producing neurons,» Silver said.
To probe this gene's role
in brain development, Greenough's collaborators at the University of Amsterdam and at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, knocked out the gene in mice.
The group also hopes to explore the role of the other HARE sequences
in brain development.
She is chairing a session on new findings
in brain development at the CNS meeting: «The talks aim to bridge across the very long brain development that gives rise to mature functioning.»
But recent advancements in fetal imaging allowed her and her team to gain insight into a critical time period
in brain development never previously accessible.
«Our research looked for such common patterns
in brain development by providing the first data on brain growth for three species of marsupial mammals and the results show that this hypothesis does not work.
In mice, they deleted four ultraconserved elements — individually and in various combinations — that lie within regions of DNA that also contain genes important
in brain development.
Lahn and his colleagues looked at the abnormal spindle - like microcephaly associated (ASPM) gene, which scientists had previously identified as a key player
in brain development.
Potentially explaining why even healthy brains don't function well with age, Salk researchers have discovered that genes that are switched on early
in brain development to sever connections between neurons as the brain fine - tunes, are again activated in aging neuronal support cells called astrocytes.
Some of the genes identified have known functions
in brain development, as well as roles in learning and memory, the researchers said.
Dennis and other researchers have found that some genes duplicated only in humans are involved
in brain development and may account for human's bigger brains (SN: 3/21/15, p. 16; SN: 11/5/11, p. 9).
«It's already known that DCX affects the ability of neurons to migrate, but we can now show that DCX plays a much greater, broader part
in brain development than that,» says Dr Falk.
Subplate neurons are among the first neurons to form in the cerebral cortex and were previously thought to serve a primarily structural role
in brain development.
Prior to this study, the ability of the cortex to selectively respond to certain sounds was thought to emerge later
in brain development.
These include a family of signaling molecules called protocaderins, which regulate neuronal development and short - range interactions between neurons, and a family of transcription factors called zinc fingers, which are mainly expressed in embryonic and nervous tissues and are thought to play roles
in brain development.
There is also genetic evidence relating to a protein called neuregulin 1, which is involved
in brain development in the womb.
«The idea that psychiatric disorders were caused by problems
in brain development was a little bit radical.
In line with this interpretation, the enzyme encoded by this gene also plays a role in producing hormones (thyroid and insulin) involved
in brain development.
The critical role these changes play
in brain development highlights the importance and urgency in understanding neural circuits in more detail and suggests new avenues for investigating the underlying causes of developmental disorders such as autism.
