Abstract
A synthetic nutritional composition including folic acid to promote, support or optimise de novo myelination, in particular the de novo myelination trajectory, and/or brain structure, and/or brain connectivity, and/or intellectual potential and/or cognitive potential and/or learning potential and/or cognitive functioning in a subject, in particular a formula fed subject.
Claims13
A method for promoting, supporting or optimizing de novo myelination, and/or brain structure, and/or brain connectivity, and/or intellectual potential, and/or cognitive potential, and/or learning potential and/or cognitive functioning in a formula fed subject, the method comprising:
- administering to the subject a synthetic nutritional composition comprising folic acid, wherein brain structure refers to the amount and/or spatial distribution of myelinated matter throughout the brain, and/or in specific brain regions, and wherein said cognitive function is optimized if the subject's scores in a standardized neurodevelopmental test are less than one standard deviation different from that of an exclusively breastfed subject of a well-nourished mother.
A method to promote, support or optimise de novo myelination, and/or brain structure, and/or brain connectivity, and/or intellectual potential, and/or cognitive potential, and/or learning potential and/or cognitive functioning in a subject, wherein brain structure refers to the amount and/or spatial distribution of myelinated matter throughout the brain, and/or in specific brain regions, and wherein the cognitive function is optimised if the subject's scores in a standardized neurodevelopmental test are less than one standard deviation different from that of an exclusively breastfed subject of a well-nourished mother, the method comprising:
- feeding folic acid to the subject.
