Abstract

Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), play crucial roles in brain health. Emerging scientific evidence highlights their significance in cognitive function, neuroprotection, and mental health disorders. This paper explores the physiological mechanisms, benefits, and potential implications of omega-3 fatty acids in neurological and psychiatric conditions. Furthermore, it discusses dietary sources, supplementation strategies, and challenges in ensuring optimal intake. The article synthesizes findings from recent clinical studies and meta-analyses to present a comprehensive overview of the role of omega-3 fatty acids in brain function and disease prevention.
