Factors adversely influencing neurodevelopment.

This resource discusses the various innate and environmental factors, as well as inflammatory conditions like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), that can adversely affect neurodevelopment and learning in children. Besides well-known factors such as abuse and nutritional status, emerging concerns include exposure to heavy metals, herbicides, and pathogens related to Lyme disease. The authors emphasize the importance of early recognition of these factors to mitigate potential neurodevelopmental issues through corrective actions. Among the suggested interventions is the use of specific natural flavonoids that may provide beneficial effects.
