Abstract

Human central nervous system (CNS) development is a complex process influenced by genes and environment interactions. Any interference to this orderly pre-planned process may cause variable congenital anomalies of the CNS with severe developmental implications such as learning, attention and intellectual disabilities, autism, psychiatric disturbances, epilepsy, perturbations in activities of daily living, motor and sensory impairment, visual and hearing problems and endocrine disorders.
