I think the birth defects of the neural tube in humans are reduced from about 6% without folic acid supplements in the periconception interval to about 1% when the supplements were taken. Neural tube defects are birth defects of the brain, spine, or spinal cord. The are most evident in the first month of pregnancy, often before the women is aware that is pregnant. The most common are the spina bifida and anencehaly.
