Fish consumption in mid-childhood and its relationship to neuropsychological outcomes measured in 7–9 year old children using a NUTRIMENTHE neuropsychological battery Clinical Nutrition doi:10.1016/j.clnu.2016.02.008 Two fish meals a week - the key to preventing problems in children? Fish is the main dietary source for a particular long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, ‘n-3’, which plays a central role in neuronal growth and the development of the human brain. New research published in Clinical Nutrition assessed children from two European studies at 7.5 and 8 years of age, and found that children who consumed 2 fish meals per week, including one of fatty fish, were less likely to show emotional and behavioural problems than those who did not.
