British researchers at Cambridge University have used brain scans, for the first time, to see differences in the brains of OCD patients when compared to the brains of people without the psychological brain disorder. Such brain scans could one day help to earlier and more accurately diagnosis obsessive-compulsive disorder in humans.

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil, are twice as effective in improving test scores for girls as boys, U.S. researchers have found. While this appears to confirm the theory that fish is brain food, the researchers also found that omega-6, found primarily in rapeseed, sunflower, palm, and soy oils, diminishes the power of the brain.
