Abstract
Many nutrition researchers have increasingly followed the supposition that malnutrition may cause morphological and biochemical damage to the brain (for reviews see Birch and Gussow, 1970; Cravioto and DeLicardie, 1973; Latham, 1974; Read, 1973). This concern has centered on a period of vulnerability in human brain development roughly 3 months before and 6 months after birth, which is generally thought to be the period of maximal brain growth.
