- •
During the summer of 1955, mass arsenic poisoning of bottle-fed infants occurred in Japan due to contaminated milk powder.
- •
We evaluated the association between developmental arsenic exposure and the neurological outcomes more than 50 years later.
- •
While limited abnormalities were found in the neurophysiological tests, neuropsychological deficits were observed.
- •
Developmental neurotoxicity due to arsenic likely results in permanent changes in brain functions.
