This extraordinary demand reflects rapid neurogenesis, myelination, synaptogenesis, and pruning—the cellular events that lay the foundations for cognition, emotion regulation, and behavior. While macronutrients provide bulk energy, several vitamins and lipids function as catalysts and structural elements in neural develo
