The Evolutionary Role of DHA

Summary:

Dr. Michael Crawford began studying DHA in 1972 and has published extensively on the importance of omega-3 DHA in human brain development and recently published the book 'The Shrinking Brain'.  In this interview, Prof Crawford discusses how DHA conducts electricity in the body and explains why this electron flow is crucial for synaptic function and learning processes in the brain.
