Dysfunctional connectivity within hippocampal and entorhinal networks underlies early-life iron deficiency induced social recognition deficits, a preliminary study
Key Points
Social recognition deficits were linked to dysfunctional connectivity within hippocampal networks.
Significant findings noted in neural connectivity due to early-life iron deficiency, highlighting critical periods.
Approach involved analyzing connectivity patterns in hippocampal and entorhinal networks under iron deficiency conditions.
These results may enable targeted interventions for iron deficiency's long-term cognitive effects.
