Abstract
As a test of the hypothesis that gender differences in neonatal behavior may be linked to circumcision, we reviewed 38 recent studies which provide relevant information. No strong data exist to support the hypothesis or to document the existence of gender differences in neonatal behavior.This publication has 42 references indexed in Scilit:
