Small head size adversely affects brain function
Having an abnormally small head could lead to developmental disabilities, according to an article that was posted on a Korean portal site Monday.
Microcephaly is a condition in which the brain doesn’t grow to its full size. The neurodevelopmental disorder is often defined as a head circumference of less than 48 centimeters.
While a small head is glorified in Korean society, microcephaly could lower life expectancy and can be accompanied by intellectual disabilities.
