Polyunsaturated fatty acids and their metabolites in the pathobiology of schizophrenia
2013, Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Investigations directed to identify such prenatal and perinatal factors reported that major depression and schizophrenia were associated with not being breast-fed, maternal emotional problems, and maternal viral infections (Allen et al., 1998; Lucas et al., 1992; McCreadie, 1997; Shi et al., 2003). It is believed that breast-feeding potentiates cognitive development, although some studies did not support this conclusion (Gale and Martyn, 1996; Malloy and Berendes, 1998). Since schizophrenia is preceded by childhood cognitive impairments (Crow et al., 1995; Jones et al., 1994; McCreadie, 1997), it was opined that breast-feeding might be a factor in the etiology of schizophrenia (Peet et al., 1997).
Cognitive function in adolescence: Testing for interactions between breast-feeding and FADS2 polymorphisms

2007, NutritionCitation Excerpt :However, a causal relation has not been established because breast-feeding is often associated with socioeconomic advantage in industrialized communities, which has been shown repeatedly to be an important factor in child development. Although most studies have suggested better cognitive development in breast-fed children compared with formula-feeding [2–11], other studies have not supported this view especially after adjusting for social and family characteristics [8,12–15] and for maternal intelligence quotient (IQ) [15,16]. Although a recent meta-analysis [17] has associated breast-feeding with a higher IQ even after adjustment for potential confounding variables, it is noteworthy that only 1 [6] of the 20 studies included in the analysis assessed and controlled for the quality of home environment, which has been recognized as a key environmental influence of child development [6,9,15].
