In Handbook of Essential Fatty Acid Biology: Biochemistry, Physiology, and Behavioral Neurobiology, internationally eminent scientists illuminate the most important scientific aspects of essential fatty acids (EFAs) - from their biochemistry to their physiological consequences in both health and illness.

The distinguished contributors integrate a wide range of topics, including the basic biochemistry of EFAs and lipid metabolism, the role of EFAs in the neuronal membrane, the effects of EFAs and lipids in various diseases, and the effects of normal levels and EFA deficiencies on cognition and behavior.
