“…During infancy and early childhood, the developing brain is particularly sensitive to nutritional deficiencies (Dias, de Freitas Silva, de Proença Doyle, & Ribeiro, 2013;Georgieff, 2007;Ivanovic Marincovich et al, 2014;Prado & Dewey, 2014;Rosales & Zeisel, 2008;Walker et al, 2011). Complete or partial deficiency of known micronutrients such as iron, iodine, folic acid, vitamin B12, and choline has proved to have adverse effects on cognitive, physical, and behavioral development (Dias et al, 2013;Grantham-McGregor, Fernald, & Sethuraman, 1999;Guardiola, Egewarth, & Rotta, 2001;Swaminathan, Edward, & Kurpad, 2013;Walker et al, 2011). The present study focuses on infantile thiamine deficiency (ITD) and its long-term effect on motor development.…”
