    Proper nutrition, including iron and essential fatty acids, is vital for preschooler brain development and cognitive function. Deficiencies can negatively impact neurological development, affecting learning and cognition.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Nutritional Science

    Background:

    • The postinfancy period is critical for brain development, influencing future learning and cognition.
    • Nutritional deficiencies, specifically iron and essential fatty acids, are implicated in impaired neurological development.

    Discussion:

    • This review synthesizes findings from limited studies on preschool children.
    • It explores the complex interplay between nutrition, specific nutrients, and cognitive outcomes.

    Key Insights:

    • Iron and essential fatty acid sufficiency supports optimal neurological development in early childhood.
    • Nutritional status directly impacts the foundational development of cognitive abilities.

    Outlook:
