Abstract Aberrant serotonin (5-HT) signalling and exposure to early life stress have both
been suggested to play a role in anxiety-and impulsivity-related behaviours. However …

Accumulating research shows that prenatal exposure to maternal stress increases the risk
for behavioral and mental health problems later in life. This review systematically analyzes …

Prenatal stress (PS) has been shown to influence the development of the fetal brain and to

depression. Perinatal depression has an incidence of around 12%. Only recently researcher …

Abstract Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] is essential to intrauterine development, but

In many non-human species, including primates, gestational reproductive hormones play an
essential role in the onset of maternal motivation and behaviors. We investigated the …

Early life is a period of considerable plasticity and vulnerability and insults during that period
can disrupt the homeostatic equilibrium of the developing organism, resulting in adverse …

It has been suggested that severe adverse life events during pregnancy increase the risk of
