title: Brain hypoxia, minimal brain dysfunction, and schizophrenia.
abstract: The author hypothesizes that individuals who suffer brain hypoxia prenatally, perinatally, or immediately postnatally constitute a population at risk for minimal brain dysfunction and for schizophrenia in adulthood. This hypothesis has implications for early intervention with children who have MBD and their families and for multidisciplinary management of these cases throughout childhood.
