Objective:  To determine the relationship between iron deficiency (or iron-deficient, ID) and neural correlates of recognition memory depending on ID timing (gestation vs. infancy) and infant age at testing (9 vs. 18 months). Study design:  Event-related potentials (ERP) were used in a visual recognition memory task (mother vs. stranger face) to compare healthy term infants according to iron status at birth and 9 months. Fetal-neonatal ID was defined as cord serum ferritin &lt; 75 µg/l or zinc protoporphrin/heme ratio &gt; 118 µmol/mol, postnatal ID as ≥ 2 abnormal iron measures at 9 months with normal cord-blood iron status, and iron-sufficient as not ID at birth or 9 months. Recognition of mother faces was measured by negative component (Nc) and late slow wave (LSW). These ERP components reflect attention and memory updating processes, respectively. Results:  All groups showed differences in Nc amplitude elicited by mother and stranger faces at 9 months. At 18 months, only postnatal ID and iron-sufficient groups showed condition differences in Nc amplitude. However, the 2 groups were different in the involved brain regions. For LSW, only the 2 ID groups showed condition differences in amplitude at 9 months. At 18 months, condition differences were not observed in any group. Conclusions:  This study indicates that the timing of ID in early life (fetal-neonatal vs. postnatal) modulates the impact of ID on recognition memory. Such impact also varies depending on the age of infants at testing (9 vs. 18 months).
