“…A lack of understanding of the outcomes in infancy that best reflect later cognition has hampered not only the quality of work done by nutrition scientists attempting such investigations but also the interpretation of the work that has been done by others. Specific measures of attention and memory are viewed within the discipline of child development as more valid assessments of early cognition (7,8), and these are taken into account by reviewers familiar with child development (9)(10)(11). Specific measures are in contrast to global assessments such as the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, the Bayley Mental Developmental Index (MDI), and the Psychomotor Developmental Index.…”

This article results from an International Life Sciences Institute workshop on early nutritional determinants of health and development. The presentation on lipids focused mainly on the longer-chain products of the essential fatty acids, particularly docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3), and cognitive development as among the most studied lipids and outcomes, respectively, in early human nutrition. Because there have been several recent reviews on this topic, the present review takes a broader perspective with respect to both early development and lipids: an expanded research agenda is plausible on the basis of observations from some human studies and from animal studies. Other lipids known to be provided in variable amounts to infants through human milk are cholesterol and gangliosides. Short sections address the current state of knowledge and some questions that could be pursued.
