Malnutrition reduces synaptic neurotransmitters and delays myelination in the developing brain, indicating significant risks.
Malnutrition is associated with both structural and functional pathology of the brain. Structurally malnutrition results in tissue damage, growth retardation, disorderly differentiation, reduction in synapses and synaptic neurotransmitters, delayed myelination and reduced overall development of dendritic arborization of the developing brain.
