IODINE AND THE BRAIN
Iodine deficiency was first linked with cretinism, a disease with many manifestations including profound mental retardation. Thus, iodine is profoundly linked to the brain, especially through thyroid hormones (which include iodine).
Hetzel has been instrumental in understanding cretinism, the effects of iodine on neuropsychological development, and the various Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDDs).
Andrasi has determined the iodine concentration in different parts of the human brain.
Cao and Hetzel discuss iodine and neuropsychological development, especially in cretinism.
Bernal has looked at iodine and brain development.
Cunnane discusses the importance of iodine in the evolution of the human brain.
Escobar and Mastorakos have focused on the role of thyroid hormone during early brain development.
Gabrichidze shows that iodine affects the local blood flow in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.
Ahmed, Becker, Bito, Cserr, Cutler, and Woodbury provide some early research on the levels of iodine in the brain and cerebral spinal fluid, as well as possible iodine transport mechanisms.
Visser discusses how the deiodinases function in the brain.
Mitchell et al have researched the interactions of iodine and selenium deficiencies on the brain.
Rao discusses the role of goitrogens in brain development.
Adams found that iodine levels in hair were 45% lower in the children with autism.
Articles on myelin sheath development are found under Multiple Sclerosis.
