“…Peripheral and subcortical auditory (Schwartz et al 1989), visual (Snyder et al 1990), and proprioceptive (Tranier et al 1989) systems are functional from the sixth or seventh month of postconceptual age although the central, cortical structures subserving the same functions, are still immature. Thus, cerebral cortex, which is necessary for the achievement of conditioned reflexes (Pavlov 1951), is immature at this time (see also Dambska and Laure-Kamionowska 1990, Gottlieb 1971, Hood and Atkinson 1990.…”

Abnormalities of the respiratory control system have been implicated in the cause of death in sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The vagus nerve is a major component of the neural regulation of respiration. Ultrastructural quantitative morphometry of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers was performed on cervical vagus nerves taken from 30 SIDS victims and 29 age-matched controls between 1 and 9 months of age. In SIDS infants, more small and fewer large myelinated vagal fibers were found than in controls, suggesting that the vagus nerve in SIDS is relatively immature. Delayed vagal nerve maturation, together with delays in central nervous system myelination and dendritic development, indicates a neural developmental delay in SIDS, the cause of which is undetermined.
