Core Tip	Although the role of perinatal brain omega-3 fatty acid (DHA) accrual on the maturation and long-term stability of cortical circuitry is only beginning to be fully understood, extant translational evidence suggests that DHA plays a role in the initial development and early maturation of cortical circuits. Emerging evidence from human neuroimaging studies further suggests that psychiatric disorders that initially emerge in childhood and adolescence and associated with low blood DHA levels are characterized by frontal circuit deficits compared with healthy developing youth. Based on existing evidence, these associations could have significant implications for informing novel early intervention strategies aimed at reducing the transmission of psychopathology.
