Issue Date: | 2012 | Journal: | British Journal of Nutrition | Abstract: | There is limited information on the specific effects of long-chain PUFA (LCPUFA) on neuron development and functioning. Deficiency of those essential fatty acids impairs escape and avoidance behaviour in fish, where Mauthner cells (M-cells) play a particularly important role in initiating this response. Gilthead seabream larvae fed two different LCPUFA profiles were challenged with a sonorous stimulus | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/24309 | ISSN: | 0007-1145 | DOI: | 10.1017/S0007114511002807 | Source: | British Journal of Nutrition [ISSN 0007-1145], v. 107, p. 295-301 | Rights: | by-nc-nd |
