Iodine papers (extracted from Pharoah):

These aren't a priority. I think it's highly likely that iodine will do little for adult intelligence, and I'm mostly pursuing this line of inquiry so I can do a meta-analysis (for practice - this would be only my second one, after the n-back one) and nail down the experiment design a little more tightly.

Requested the first 3, but I can't locate the 4th one in my library system.

For that one, I think I found a later publication of it (or perhaps just a better citation):

  • "Iodine deficiency and the maternal/fetal relationship". In: Dunn JG, Medeiros-Neto GA, eds. Endemic goiter and cretinism: continuing threats to world health. Washington, DC: PAHO, 1974. (Scientific publication 292).

The book/report shows up in Worldcat in ~10 institutions, so ILL should get it.

Also good would be these 2 chapters:

  • Pretell EA, Caceres A. "Impairment of mental development by iodine deficiency and its correction. A retrospective view of studies in Peru". In: Stanbury JB, ed. The damaged brain of iodine deficiency. New York, NY: Cognizant Communication, 1994:187–91
  • Greene LS. "A retrospective view of iodine deficiency, brain development and behavior from studies in Ecuador". In: Stanbury JB, ed. The damaged brain of iodine deficiency. New York, NY: CognizantCommunication1994:173–85
