| Research Abstract |
Fetal growth restriction is one of the causes of small-for-gestational age (SGA). SGA is high risk of neurological sequelae in later life. Neonatologists have treated to SGA infants in order to prevent from neurological sequelae. However, those treatments were not always effective. In this study, SGA rats had poorer outcome for neurobehavioral tests during early and late infantile period. These findings iindicated that neurological development might be related with somatic growth. It is suggested that optimal postnatal care might be important in SGA infants in order to decrease morbidity.
