New Thinking on Neurodevelopment

* Szpir *

*Abstract*

Rising diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disorders are leading scientists

to take a harder look at environmental exposures /in utero/ and during

childhood that may be at least partly to blame for the rise. A number of

agents, including metals, man-made chemicals, immunotoxicants, and

infectious pathogens, have been implicated in neurodevelopmental

effects; some researchers are also looking at the possible role of

gene-environment interactions. Federal support for work in this sphere

is increasing, and an expert working group recently formulated a set of

best practices for studying neurodevelopmental outcomes. Challenges

remain in educating the public and clinicians alike about the links

between environmental insults and these disorders.

Thanks heavens! Now we just sit and wait for the 'controversy' that will

follow the findings... I just hope they stay away from vaccines,

otherwise they'll get burried alive before they even start digging.
