@article{Sethi2004IodineDA, title={Iodine deficiency and development of brain}, author={Vani Sethi and Umesh Kapil}, journal={The Indian Journal of Pediatrics}, year={2004}, volume={71}, pages={325-329} }
Iodine is a trace element essential for the synthesis of triodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Inadequate intake of iodine leads to insufficient production of these hormones, which play a vital role in the process of early growth and development of most organs, especially the brain. The neurological sequele of iodine deficiency are mediated by thyroid hormone deficiency, varying from minimal brain function to a syndrome of severe intellectual disability. All the basic processes of…

It appears urgent to ensure the use of iodine supplements from before or very early in pregnancy, and to screen all women for hypothyroxinemia as early as possible, due to increasing evidence from epidemiological studies and patient reports that these hormones are already needed for orderly development during the first trimester.

Though experimental work has primarily focused on the effects of thyroid hormones on the fetal brain, it is believed to be likely that fetal exposure to maternal hormones is under placental control, and that other components of this putative system are worthy of study.

Experimental research and clinical studies have partially clarified the correlation between the maturation of the nervous system and thyroid function during the early stages of development; both a deficit and excess of thyroid hormones may lead to permanent anatomo-functional damage to the central nervous system.
