Iron deficiency anemia has long been thought to have effects on the central nervous system
(CNS). Finding direct evidence of this in human infants, however, has been challenging …

Evoked potentials provide noninvasive measures of nerve transmission and CNS
functioning. Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and visual evoked potentials (VEP) show …

Iron-deficiency anemia in infancy has been consistently shown to negatively influence
performance in tests of psychomotor development. In most studies of short-term follow-up …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether cord ferritin (CF) concentration, an index of in utero iron
status, is associated with auditory neural maturation in premature infants. STUDY DESIGN …

Infants are at high risk for iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia. This review
summarizes evidence of long-term effects of iron deficiency in infancy. Follow-up studies …

Objective To determine whether cord serum ferritin level is associated with auditory
brainstem evoked response interpeak latencies, an index of auditory neural myelination, in …

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to examine the relation between iron status and
neurobehavioral development in premature infants. STUDY DESIGN: Infants born before 34 …

Infants are at risk for iron deficiency as breast milk or formula is replaced by semisolid foods
during weaning. The scope of this article is to briefly review new findings on developmental …

Iron serves important functions in many biochemical processes including the development of
the central nervous system, and it is essential to neural myelination, neurotransmitter …

Infants who experience iron deficiency during the first 6–12 mo of life are likely to experience
persistent effects of the deficiency that alter functioning in adulthood. A lack of sufficient iron …
