  1. First the estimates obtained in a standard structural equation analysis are given (see Table 1. ML estimation after full adjustment). Then follow the estimates obtained by fixing measurement parameters (see text) at values determined in separate analyses of the indicators of the prenatal mercury exposure and the indicators of neurobehavioral functions, respectively.
