Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the impact of omega-3 supplementation (EPA and DHA) on behavior and cognitive abilities in children aged 6-12 with ADHD.
- During a 16-week double-blind trial involving 95 children, various cognitive functions and behaviors were assessed using standardized methods.
- Results showed that the omega-3 supplementation improved working memory but did not significantly affect other cognitive measures or behavioral ratings, with improvements linked to higher EPA and DHA levels and lower arachidonic acid levels.

July 1982
The localization and movements of four nuclear proteins, originally contained in the germinal vesicle ofXenopus oocytes, were followed through early development from cleavage to late neurula. The study made use of monoclonal antibodies directed against germinal vesicle proteins. Biochemical methods showed that all proteins persist in the embryo without a change in molecular size or gross concentration.
