iodine and Learning Disabilities

iodine has been researched along with Learning Disabilities in 11 studies

Iodine: A nonmetallic element of the halogen group that is represented by the atomic symbol I, atomic number 53, and atomic weight of 126.90. It is a nutritionally essential element, especially important in thyroid hormone synthesis. In solution, it has anti-infective properties and is used topically.
diiodine : Molecule comprising two covalently bonded iodine atoms with overall zero charge..

Learning Disabilities: Conditions characterized by a significant discrepancy between an individual's perceived level of intellect and their ability to acquire new language and other cognitive skills. These may result from organic or psychological conditions. Relatively common subtypes include DYSLEXIA, DYSCALCULIA, and DYSGRAPHIA.

"It is well known that severe iodine deficiency during pregnancy may cause impaired brain development in the child, with effects on cognitive and motor function, hearing and speech."9.01The effect of iodine deficiency during pregnancy on child development. ( Bath, SC, 2019)
"The purpose of this study was to determine whether children born to mothers with urinary iodine concentrations (UICs) <150 μg/L during pregnancy have poorer educational outcomes in primary school than peers whose mothers did not have gestational ID (UIC ≥150 μg/L)."7.79Mild iodine deficiency during pregnancy is associated with reduced educational outcomes in the offspring: 9-year follow-up of the gestational iodine cohort. ( Burgess, JR; Hay, I; Hynes, KL; Otahal, P, 2013)
"Developmental iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism impair the expression of doublecortin and NCAM-180, leading to nerve fiber malfunction and thus impairments in hippocampal development."7.76Developmental iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism impair neural development in rat hippocampus: involvement of doublecortin and NCAM-180. ( Chen, J; Dong, J; Gong, J; Liu, W; Wang, Y; Wei, W; Xi, Q; Xu, H; Zhong, J, 2010)
"Visual perceptual integrative motor ability was investigated in 719 6- to 12-yr-old, presumably normal, primary schoolchildren living in 2 iodine-deficient endemic goiter areas in Sicily, identified on the basis of the presence (area A) or absence (area B) of endemic cretinism, by administrating the Bender Gestalt test."7.68Defective neuromotor and cognitive ability in iodine-deficient schoolchildren of an endemic goiter region in Sicily. ( Battiato, S; Benvenga, S; Finocchiaro, MD; Lo Presti, VP; Sidoti, M; Trimarchi, F; Vermiglio, F, 1990)
