Abstract:
The fetal stage is a critical period for brain development. Intrauterine growth restriction(IUGR)af-fects the growth of fetus and impairs the brain development severely,resulting in long - term neurological sequelae such as motor and behavioral disorders. Since their brain underdevelopment originated in the uterus,postnatal interventions usually fail to improve the brain function. Then antenatal interventions become urgent to protect the brain,taurine has appeared a high practical value in improving the brain development. The adverse effects of IUGR on fetal brain develop-ment and the possibilities of antenatal interventions were introduced in this paper in order to improve the prognosis of the nervous system.
