Abstract: The brain as a complex energy-informational system is dynamic structure, which during intrauterine development in humans changes within each gestational week. The dramatic introduction of endocrine disruptors in living systems on Earth is significantly reflected in the number of diseases, obesity, and infertility. Brain due to its complexity demand a specific scientific approach especially during intrauterine development. Development of program, which will enable the introduction of a test platform for recognition of disturbances within a horizontal, vertical and modular activity frames in the brain during development caused by xenobiotics, such as endocrine disruptors, is of great significance.
