Does docosahexaenoic acid supplementation in term infants enhance neurocognitive functioning in infancy?

abstract：:The neural basis of progress monitoring has received relatively little attention compared to other sub-processes that are involved in goal directed behavior such as motor control and response inhibition. Studies of error-monitoring have identified the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) as a structure that is sens...
