When used during pregnancy, benzodiazepines (BZDs) and related z-drugs could pass
readily through the placenta and the foetal blood-brain barrier, where they can bind to γ …

Importance Neurodevelopmental disorders are associated with poor health and social
outcomes. Population-based data on incidence, age at diagnosis, and demographic …

When used during pregnancy, analgesics and psychotropics pass the placenta to enter the
foetal circulation and may induce epigenetic modifications. Where such modifications occur …

Background: Exposure in utero to certain medications can disrupt processes of fetal
development, including brain development, leading to a continuum of neurodevelopmental …

Background There is an increasing interest in the role of epigenetics in epidemiology, but
the emerging research field faces several critical biological and technical challenges. In …

Evidence is limited regarding the effect of prenatal benzodiazepine and z-hypnotic exposure
and long-term neurodevelopment in childhood. The objective of this study was to investigate …

Objective To determine the association between child attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder
