The Importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acid DHA for Neuron Function
1:08:12 - 1:14:06 (05:54)
The structure and function of cell membranes, particularly in neurons, are affected by the membrane fluidity which is influenced by molecules like DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid. Inflammation, which inhibits the release of serotonin, can be countered by the consumption of omega-3s, particularly EPA.

Summary
DHA is a crucial fatty acid that affects the fluidity and structure of cell membranes, including those in neurons. When deficient in DHA, the receptors of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine are impacted, as well as inflammation levels in the body.
