Abstract
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to play a role in neurogenesis, synaptogenesis and cell survival, thus improving brain development and reducing anxiety in the youth and preventing cognitive decline in elderly people. The omega-3 benefits seem to be conducted, among others, through the endocannabinoid system, but an in-depth knowledge of the molecular events taking place at this system are still poorly understood. The aim of this research is to study whether the effects of a diet enriched in omega-3 has on memory and anxiety in the early adulthood involve the modulation of the endocannabinoid system. Not only that, but also analysing the molecular impact elicited by omega-3 on components of this system in the mouse hippocampus.
