Nutrients play a significant role in brain development throughout
fetal and postnatal life. This book reviews the evidence from
animal and human research, highlighting the influence of specific
nutrients on brain function and cognitive development. With a
unique, integrative approach to the nutritional, environmental, and
genetic influences on brain development, the book examines issues
such as single versus multiple limiting nutrients, critical periods
of deficiency, and the impact of the child-parent relationship on
the architecture of the developing brain. The effect of
undernutrition on the developing brain of infants and young
children can be devastating and enduring. It can impede behavioural
and cognitive development and educability, thereby undermining
future work productivity. Chapter authors are experts in this field
of research and provide an up-to-date insight into the role of the
individual nutrients in brain development and function.
