grey matter volume in the occipital and parietal lobes did not show a dose-dependent response. In addition, gray matter volume of the right parietal lobe was shown to correlate with visual attention, visual-motor performance, sensorimotor ability and syntax construction scores at 6 years of age. Grey matter volume of the left occipital lobe was shown to correlate with visual motor performance scores at 6 years of age as well as with neonatal visual attention and visual recognition memory when 12 months old. The above findings (by Behnke and Singer) were presented during a symposium at the annual meeting of the Neurobehavioral Teratology Society but have yet to be published.
