Abstract

THE present review deals primarily with studies appearing since the publication in the December 1944 Review of the summary by Shock (44). Certain topics covered in the previous reviews have not advanced significantly and are, therefore, omitted. Areas of greatest research activity in this general field include the following: (a) the effect of prenatal conditions, such as maternal disease and diet, on fetal and neonatal development; (b) the developmental effects of anoxia at birth; (c) the effects of diet on growth and development; (d) the effects of diseases on development; (e) the physiological aspects of adolescent development.
