Summary
This study tested whether giving pregnant women a nutritional supplement called phosphatidylcholine could improve their child's brain development. 216 healthy pregnant women took either the supplement or a placebo from about 16 weeks of pregnancy until birth. Researchers then checked the children's behavior, thinking, language, and motor skills at age 4, and also looked at how maternal stress and placenta function played a role.
