Abstract
This review summarizes the knowledge of the role of dietary PUFAs, especially ω-3, on normal brain function. Furthermore, it reports the evidence pointing to potential mechanisms of ω-3 fatty acids in development of neurological disorders and efficacy of their supplementation in terms of symptom management.
