aSample size includes the two children whose mothers had normal-range TSH values throughout pregnancy but excludes the one child whose mothers’ specific TH value information was missing.
bDefined as TSH above or below 8.8 mU/l in first or second trimesters. Ranges: Mild = 0.1–8.4; Severe = 8.8–38.5 mU/l.
cSee description of Talairach coordinates in Table 2.
dShown as red tones in Figure 2 to denote Mild > Severe.
eShown as blue tones in Figure 2 to denote Mild < Severe.
