Among them, zinc is an essential trace element and plays a crucial role in biological func- tions and physiological processes in hu- mans. Disorders of zinc balance during life appear to be an important factor cor- related with the development of CNS di- seases. This research aimed to conduct a 123 Serum Concentration on Mineral Zinc and Cognitive Changes in Children: a Review literature review on the propor- normal development from preg- tion of research involving zinc nancy to aging. and brain development in chil- dren.
