Phosphatidylcholine Supplementation in Infants

Summary

Sensory gating is defined as the automatic process of inhibiting brain response to repeated auditory sounds. Infants who brains respond similarly to two identical sounds presented about 1/2 second apart are more likely to have later problems with attention than infants who suppress response to the second sound. This study will examine whether providing a nutritional supplement, phosphatidylcholine, for two months in infancy will result in an increased likelihood of developing more robust sensory gating.
