摘要：
It is proposed that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids when given from the perinatal period will ensure proper development and growth of the brain and maintain the activity and/or concentrations of ras, nitric oxide, insulin, and various neurotransmitters and cytokines at physiological level and thus, improve memory and prevent learning deficits.
