Microcephaly is a neurological condition characterized by an abnormally small head size, often due to abnormal brain development in utero or during early childhood. This can result in developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and other neurological complications. Research in this area focuses on understanding the causes of microcephaly, including genetic factors, environmental influences, and potential treatment and management strategies to improve outcomes for affected individuals. Additionally, there is ongoing research into the association between microcephaly and other conditions, such as Zika virus infection during pregnancy.
