...Those who use marijuana to excess, it is known, run the risk of lessened intellectual activity. Pot partisans point out that those who use alcohol to excess not only lessen intellectual activity but cause damage to the brain, liver and heart as well. The A.M.A.-N.R.C. report contents itself with pointing out that social productivity is reduced in those areas of Asia, Africa and South America where heavy use of marijuana is common...
...aware, Doman and Delacato have never claimed to have effective treatment methods for two of their three categories (psychotic and brain-deficient), but only for the brain-injured group. Not every child is put through the full patterning and creeping-crawling early stages...

Ernest Dichter, director of the Institute for Motivational Research at Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., maintains that "we're just emerging from a brawn culture into a brain culture, and brains are not as dramatic."

Anthropologists unearthed him in 1856, and described him as a beetle-browed, bent-kneed apeman, though his cranium (at 1,600 cc.) was more capacious than that of a contemporary brain (averaging 1,450 cc.).

Writing in the monthly report of the French Prehistoric Society, Archaeologist Arlette Leroi-Gourhan described...
...baby is Rh-positive, there is a progressively increasing chance of trouble in later pregnancies. In such cases, the Rh-negative mother develops an immunity to future Rh-positive babies and may send enough damaging antibodies into the developing child's bloodstream to cause stillbirth, brain damage or a miscarriage. Rh disease kills 10,000 babies in the U.S. each year. Until recently, the only treatment was to replace virtually the entire blood supply of the fetus with a massive transfusion in the womb...
