Abstract
The perinatal period and adolescence are critical for brain development, with nutrition being a crucial factor. Dietary intake of lutein, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and choline is positively associated with early neurodevelopment and cognitive function, but interactions remain unclear. This study systematically evaluates lutein, DHA, and choline to elucidate their specific and combined effects on neurodevelopment.
