Maternal concentrations of perfluoroalkyl sulfonates and alterations in white matter microstructure in the developing brains of young childrenMaternal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been linked to child neurodevelopmental difficulties. Neuroimaging research has linked these neurodevelopmental difficulties to white matter microstructure alterations, but the effects of PFAS on children's white matter microstructure remains unclear.

Classification of CP is an important step toward describing more homogenous subgroups of persons with CP.
