The High DHA/Low toxicity had a shorter latency and higher frequency in both LPC and FN400. Conclusion/ Summary:
-After eating fish for a long period of time, high DHA/ low toxicity showed better memories.-Fish is a great food to obtain DHA for memory, but elements like mercury could offside it’s effects, so supplementation could be better.
