Neuroprotective Role of Lactoferrin during Early Brain Development and Injury through Lifespan
Brain Development
Schirmbeck et al. (2022)
Early adverse fetal environments can significantly disturb central nervous system (CNS) development and subsequently alter brain maturation. Nutritional status is a major variable to be considered during development and increasing evidence links neonate and preterm infant impaired brain growth with neurological and psychiatric diseases in adulthood.
Choline, Neurological Development and Brain Function : A Systematic Review Focusing on the First 1000 Days
Brain Development
E. Derbyshire et al. (2020)
The foundations of neurodevelopment across an individual’s lifespan are established in the first 1000 days of life (2 years). During this period an adequate supply of nutrients are essential for proper neurodevelopment and lifelong brain function. Of these, evidence for choline has been building but has not been widely collated using systematic approaches.
