Does brain development stop after pregnancy, or does it continue for decades?
In this episode with Tom Brenna, we explore the long timeline of brain development. DHA, an omega three fatty acid, is incorporated into the brain until at least age 20 and likely into the mid twenties.
The key principle is duration and balance. Breastfeeding provides DHA during early life, but brain remodeling continues long after. Omega three and omega six fatty acids share the same metabolic pathways, meaning an imbalance can suppress how effectively they are used. This makes long term nutritional balance critical for brain health.
If you want to support brain development, you need to think beyond infancy.
