Episode 1 Part 2: The Future of Brain Health Honouring Professor Michael Crawford’s Legacy

This is Part 2 of our special launch episode, The Future of Brain Health: Honouring Professor Michael Crawford’s Legacy.In part 2, Dr Rachel V. Gow is joined by Associate Professor Simon Dyall from the University of Roehampton, whose work sits at the interface of neuroscience, nutrition, neurobiology and psychology. Simon brings the modern neuroscience of DHA, EPA, arachidonic acid and lipid signalling into the conversation, helping us understand why these fatty acids matter for pregnancy, fetal development, early life, cognition, mental health and healthy ageing.Together, they discuss the role of omega-3 fatty acids in brain structure and function, the importance of lipid mediators, the preterm PUFA gap, Professor Crawford’s scientific legacy, and why nourishing the brain across the lifespan matters for neurodevelopment, longevity, cognitive health and the next generation.
