During this podcast, Associate Specialist Neurocognition Dr. Purva Rajhans will discuss the following questions:
- How reliable is head circumference in estimating brain growth?
- Is there any evidence to suggest that children who have experienced growth faltering and as consequence cognitive deficient, would benefit from higher levels of specific brain nutrients such as DHA & phospholipids?
- Does the child need to be experiencing chronic malnutrition time before the brain is affected?
