We hypothesized that neurogenesis may involve in Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) -enhanced learning and memory ability. In this study we tried to understand effect of memory formation on apoptosis of neural stem cells (NSCs). The numbers of newborn cells in the hippocampus were increased and improved learning ability by treatment of DHA for 8-weeks orally. These results indicate that DHA enhances neuronal differentiation from NSCs but also enhances proliferation of NSCs.
