Abstract
Understanding of the processes that underlie brain development is of great clinical importance because it helps determining endo- and exogenous factors that may influence the neurocognitive abilities of human progeny. It is known that cognitive functions of children largely depend on the prenatal and intrauterine environment, which denotes that programming of future health occurs even before the birth of a fetus. This bibliographical review considers some environmental factors, such as neurohormonal, alimentary, and somatic, that influence the formation of the concept of metabolic imprinting, which in its turn allows determining the main risk groups and directions for therapeutic and preventive measures with the purpose of formation of mother's health for future healthy progeny, including the cognitive functions. The following databases were studied thoroughly in this review: PubMed®, Wiley Online Library, and eLIBRARY; the sources dated 2000 to 2021 were used.
