This project will explore in detail the role of two known risk factors for cerebral palsy: assisted reproductive technology and congenital anomalies.
A non-progressive motor disability due to damage of the developing brain, this is the most common physical disability in childhood. Affecting about one in 500 babies, it is frequently accompanied by other neurological impairments, such as intellectual or sensory.
