Diabetic pregnancies are characterized by chronic metabolic insults, including
iron deficiency
, that place the developing brain at risk for
memory impairment
later in life. A behavioral recall paradigm coupled with electrophysiological measures was used to assess the longevity of these effects in 40 3(1/2)-year-old children. When memory demands were high, recall was significantly impaired in the at-risk group and correlated with perinatal measures of iron. Electrophysiological results suggested both encoding and retrieval processes were compromised. These findings support the hypothesis that prenatal
iron deficiency
leads to alterations in neural development that have a lasting impact on memory ability.
