Feeding the brain: Recent nutritional strategies

Dr. Fontecha explores how the complexity of human breast milk - the gold standard for infant nutrition - makes it challenging to replicate in infant formula and considers the potential of Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) as a supplement in infant formula, given its beneficial effects on cognitive development, immune system development, and gut maturation, and highlighted the need for further research to optimize its use in clinical practice and infant nutrition. 

This presentation was delivered by Dr. Javier Fontecha, Medical Scientist at the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL-CSIC).
