Disruptions to neurodevelopment are known to be linked to behavioral disorders in
childhood and into adulthood. The fetal brain is extremely vulnerable to stimuli that alter …

Prenatal stress predisposes offspring to behavioral pathologies. These may be attributed to
effects on cerebellar neurosteroids and GABAergic inhibitory signaling, which can be linked …

Background Prenatal stress is associated with long-term disturbances in white matter
development and behaviour in children, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder …

Background A correct balance of activity of the GABA and glutamate systems is vital for
optimal neurodevelopment and general CNS function, and the dysregulation of this balance …

Preterm birth is associated with poor long-term neurodevelopmental and behavioral
outcomes, even in the absence of obvious brain injury at the time of birth. In particular …

Background Chronic psychosocial stress during pregnancy and/or after birth, and the
associated elevation in cortisol, is linked with the onset of behavioural disorders in …

Background: Maternal psychosocial stress during pregnancy is associated with adverse
neonatal outcomes. These outcomes result from changes in fetal brain development and …

Maternal stress during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of psychiatric disorders
in offspring, but embryonic brain mechanisms disrupted by prenatal stress are not fully …

Neuroplasticity during the prenatal period allows neurons to regenerate anatomically and
functionally for re-programming the brain development. During this critical period of fetal …
