Abstract There are two main cohort studies arguing the effects of prenatal exposure to low dose of methylmercury (MeHg); one is the Faroe Islands Prospective Study, and the other is the Seychelles child developmental study (SCDS). Although these two studies had similar exposure doses, number of subjects, and measurement of neurodevelopmental outcomes, the study in the Faroe Islands documented several deficits in neurofunctional domains in children while the SCDS did not. In this paper, while introducing the nature in the Republic of Seychelles and the lifestyles of the people, described the background of the SCDS and summarized the previous study results.
