Could dha actually improve an adult brain function?

Maybe: This is an area of research for sure. As a pediatrician of course we spend a lot of time getting breastfed mom's to get DHA in their diet. Formulas have DHA supplemented these days. There are studies, short term, although promising that suggest that DHA may be useful in adults with memory complaints. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/11/101108151346.htm
