The Present Role of Omega 3's in the Brain: IQ, Verbal Reasoning, and Bipolar Disorder
Omega-3's are definitively known to have membrane-enhancing capabilities in brain cells that facilitate necessarily positive results. One medical explanation is that omega-3's play a role in the fortification of the myelin sheaths. Not coincidentally, omega-3 fatty acids comprise approximately eight percent of the average human brain according to the late Dr. David Horrobin, a pioneer in fatty acid research. Ralph Holman of the University of Minnesota, another major researcher in studying essential fatty acids, surmised how omega-3 components are analogous to the human brain by stating that "DHA is structure, EPA is function."

Consequently, the past decade of omega-3 fatty acid research has procured some Western interest in omega-3's as being a legitimate 'brain food.' Still, recent claims that intelligence quota and verbal reasoning skills are increased on account of omega-3's consumed by pregnant mothers remain unreliable and controversial. An even more significant locus of research, however, lies in the role of omega-3's as a non-prescription treatment for certain pyschiatric and mental diagnoses and has become a topic of much research and speculation.
Dr. Andrew Stoll and his colleagues at Harvard University were among the first to accomplish the testing of such hypothetical research through a 1999 double-blind placebo study done with thirty patients having been diagnosed with manic depression. This experiment was designed for nine months. He rendered his results by affording olive oil capsules to fifteen placebo control subjects and nine grams of pharmaceutical-quality EPA and DHA supplements to the fifteen others. In doing so he was able to make the general distinction between the placebo group failing to improve while the Omega-3 group experienced a noticeable degree of recovery. Though Stoll believes that the 1999 experiment was not as optimal as it could have been and has accordingly pursued further research, the foundation has been laid for more researchers to explore the theoretical association between absorbed omega-3's and signal transduction inhibition in the brain.
Should enough research that is currently underway come to confirm the legitimacy of this association, then a debate and reassessment will of course be necessitated between Omega-3's and such over-the-counter prescription bipolar treatments as Eskalith, or brand Lithium Carbonate. Some physicians and psychiatric specialists in the United States do allow willing bipolar patients to use Omega-3 supplements as conditional treatments. Omega-3's, unlike Eskalith, are less expensive and do not commonly induce such side effects as diarrhea, drowsiness, and fatigue. More time is needed, however, for Omega-3-induced signal transduction inhibition in the brain to become a thoroughly proven association. Until then, the present application of what some may consider speculation remains verifiable.
In experimental particle physics, an electromagnetic calorimeter is a device used to measure the energy of charged particles and photons resulting from a high-energy collision.
In experimental particle physics, a hadronic calorimeter is a device used to measure the energy of hadronic particles resulting from a high-energy collision.
