What exactly is minimal brain dysfunction defined as?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Old term: This was a term once used to describe kids with mild learning disabilities or add. The idea of a brain with "minimal impairment" was common in the 70's and 80's. It supposed that mild brain injury was the cause like it is for cerebral palsy. Today we understand the complex genetic and non-genetic factors involved and the term has lost its usefulness.
