Fish oil contains Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an essential Omega-3 fatty acid. DHA is thought to be important to the development of the brain and other things.- (Definition of DHA)
DHA is believed and has been proven in some research studies to boost your brain's ability to function at its best.- (Jade) It is thought that Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil can help brain cells communicate better.- (Benefits of Fish Oil Supplements) This article explains the more DHA your brain takes in, the better memory neurons interact with each other. - (Benefits of Fish Oil

(Memory and Fish Oil) In a test that was done, the subjects took fish oil which contained DHA

“showed significant improvement.” - (Whitelocks)The conclusion that can be drawn from these studies is that taking fish oil and the DHA in it will help improve memory.
The results of the tests in the studies cited above showed that taking fish oil which contains DHA does improve memory. In one test with eighteen to thirty five year olds the results were that fish oil increased blood flow to parts of the brain that were being used during tasks that were similar to each other. –(Boosting Mental Performance with Fish Oil?) In a test in which eighteen to twenty five year olds took fish oil every day for six months, their memory
