Freeman JM, ed. 1985. Prenatal and perinatal factors associated with brain disorders. Bethesda, MD: National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 449 pp.

Annotation: This book has three purposes: to summarize current knowledge about pre- and perinatal risk factors for mental retardation, cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and establish for the infant with a perinatal problem the relative and absolute risk for later neurologic handicap; to examine whether medicine can establish the etiology of a given neurologic dysfunction; and to understand how to account for babies with mental retardation and cerebral palsy who are not accounted for by perinatal problems.

Hardy JB, ed. 1971. Proceedings of a symposium on factors affecting the growth and development of children, March 30, 1970. Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins Press, 166 pp.

Annotation: These proceedings discuss a project to clarify relationships between perinatal influences and minor impairment of central nervous system function. It also discusses causative factors responsible for the known relationship between poverty and higher frequency of cerebral defects, particularly of a milder degree. Perinatal influences discussed are gestational age and birth weight of the fetus, serum bilirubin levels of newborns, full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, cord serum immunoglobulin levels and long-range fetal outcome. The symposium was conducted by the Johns Hopkins Collaborative Perinatal Project, supported in part by the U.S. Children's Bureau.
