Researchers said in a report that maternal support programs supplement containing folic acid does not protect only embryos of birth defects, but also supports healthy brain until they reach their teenage years.
The doctor said, Joshua. Massachusetts General Hospital remain in Charlestown, the study's main author: "known for more than 20 years ago to support mothers folic acid protects fetuses from spina bifida, and other defects in the neural Canal, adding:" but the findings of the first results linking folic acid And improve brain health among adolescents, "appear to influence the result of specific changes in brain development.
Researchers link between values and taking folic acid, between the cerebral cortex and the risk of psychiatric disorders between the ages of 8 and 18 to those born before, during and after the implementation of the programme of support to supplement the content on folic acid between 1996 and 1998.
The report published in the journal Psychological Medicine gamma to the thickness of the cerebral cortex was greater among young people who were born after full implementation of medium thickness, support among those who were born during the program, raised minimum thickness of the cerebral cortex in young people who were born before the start of the programme. The researchers said that the cerebral cortex, then to inform the full thickness, this fish begins to recede in selective pruning process, and this process was delayed by high IQS while acceleration is associated with diseases such as schizophrenia and autism.
This study showed a link maternal folic acid support programme to slow deterioration of the density of the cerebral cortex, which in turn was associated with lower risk of mental disorders such as schizophrenia, and said: "despite the recommendation roman long ago that dealt with women of childbearing age folic acid for protection of disadvantages Nerve channel, especially in the case of unplanned pregnancy, most women still can have children not taking dietary supplement folic acid content, and less than half just worldwide live in countries implementing a programme to support mothers folic acid. The results show that folic acid provides additional protection for brain health goes beyond its effects on nerve Cana
