Topographical distribution of the human brain to Plukenetia volubilis-based omega-3,6,9 enriched egg consumption

Abstract

<span>Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is related to cognitive development. Consumers' brain health could benefit from changes in the omega 6:3 ratio. This study aimed to examine how the </span><em><span>Plukenetia volubilis</span></em><span>-based omega-3,6,9 enriched egg supplementation affects electrical brain activity during the attention/inhibition (Go/NoGo) test. Healthy subjects (n = 20) were chosen at random to eat 2 boiled </span><em><span>Plukenetia volubilis</span></em><span>-based omega-3,6,9 enriched eggs for 12 weeks. The ePrime v.3.0 application recorded behavioral performance during the Go/NoGo test during the electroencephalographic recording. The finding of this study was that twelve weeks of boiled </span><em><span>Plukenetia volubilis</span></em><span>-based omega-3,6,9 enriched egg consumption significantly decreased the reaction time responses compared to the baseline. The topographical distribution revealed that the mean amplitude of N1 produced a slightly larger amplitude in the 12<sup>th</sup> week compared to the baseline. The P3 component, following N1, was also larger in the 12<sup>th</sup> week compared to the baseline. After 12 weeks of consuming the </span><em><span>Plukenetia volubilis</span></em><span>-based omega-3,6,9 enriched eggs, the central nervous system activities during a Go/NoGo test were believed to be enhanced. </span>
