Essential Reads To Learn How to Optimally Grow the Brain

Neurobiological studies have generated new ways of thinking about development of brain structure and function. Development involves more than just growth from simple to complex structures. The initial over-abundance of neurons and synaptic connections is subsequently pruned of those that are non-functional. In addition, as behavioural and cognitive functions emerge and become automatized, the underlying brain representations are reorganized. In this paper, I shall argue that these different modes of neurodevelopmental change provide a useful metaphor for examining language acquisition. It will be argued that language acquisition can involve learning to ignore and inhibit irrelevant information, as well as forming new ways of representing complex information economically. Modular organization is not present from the outset, but develops gradually. This analysis suggests a new way of assessing specific language impairment (SLI).

I've got to believe that the essential fatty acids found in fish are much better for the brain than those found in seeds. The main reason is the DHA is in a much more active form from fish. Your body has to convert the EFAs from seeds into DHA and you will not be getting the same amounts of the beneficial Omega 3.
