The article was referring to children, and I should have specified that the study I spoke of was in young children, ages 6 and below. The brain continues to develop until about age 25, and is especially susceptible to damage during that time. Inadequate nutrition, chemicals (e.g. marijuana), and infection can all permanently impact IQ and behavior.

The mature brain is not as susceptible to these insults. However, I would not be surprised if some of these things caused damage in the mature brain, as well.
