my understanding is that most of the conductive material in the brain is composed of fatty acids of the omega series. most of the fats in our western diet are omega6 and do not have the same electroconductive properties of the omega3 series.
so...
you munch on fish oil for a while and these omega3 fats become incorporated into the neurons of the brain. once there, they smoothly propogate various impulses, making whatever catecholamines you've got left work better. turnover of dopamine & serotonin are reportedly higher, but we're still lacking large-scale truthenslabben on all this.
the effect (to me) is not massive, but it is real,
especially when combined with an AD. there are even reports of hypomania.creaked.
