Decades after ending in 'disappointment,' Guatemalan study of infant brains inspires Canadian follow up
A $10-million initiative called Saving Brains, which aims to encourage healthy brain development in children in the developing world. In the 1970s, researchers tried to boost the brain power of hundreds of poor children in Guatemala with a porridge-like drink called Atole. But they were disappointed to discovered the extra protein had only a modest impact. It was a very different story 25 years later, when one of scientists, Reynaldo Matorell, assembled a team to track down as many of the former participants in the original study as possible. The atole, he discovered, had made a dramatic difference after all, but only in the children who were toddlers and babies when they began drinking it every day.
