Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...

Assessment of maternal health and behavior during pregnancy in the HEALthy Brain and Child Development Study: Rationale and approach

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
The Healthy Brain and Child Development (HBCD) Study, a multi-site, prospective, longitudinal cohort study, will examine human brain, cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional development beginning prenatally and planned through early childhood ...

Interval Timing Is Altered in Male Nrxn1+/− Mice: A Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social interactions and communication, and increased repetitive and stereotypical behavior. Neuroimaging shows functional abnormalities in brain areas involved in temporal processing in autistic individuals, and they also show deficits in interval timing.

Pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome revisited: Current understanding and perspectives regarding future research

Reproductive Medicine and Biology, 2022
Background Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among reproductive‐age women and has lifelong effects on health. Methods In this review, I discuss the pathophysiology of PCOS. First, I summarize our current understanding

The 3‐Hit Metabolic Signaling Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Summary

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable yet environmentally sensitive neurodevelopmental condition whose biological heterogeneity has resisted a unifying causal explanation for over 100 years. The 3‐hit metabolic signaling model proposes that ASD arises from abnormal persistence of an evolutionarily conserved stress‐response ...

Prenatal exposure to adverse life events and autism and autistic‐like traits in children in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa)

JCPP Advances
Background Mothers' experience of adverse life events (ALEs, e.g., divorce, bereavement, injury) during pregnancy has been linked with neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, and related traits like social communication difficulties and repetitive ...

Chronic Stress Alters Behavior in the Forced Swim Test and Underlying Neural Activity in Animals Exposed to Alcohol Prenatally: Sex- and Time-Dependent Effects

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) stress response has been suggested to play a role in vulnerability to stress-related disorders, such as depression.

The Role of Microbiota Metabolites Propionic Acid, p‐Cresol, and 4‐Ethylphenyl Sulfate in Autism Susceptibility: A Systematic Review

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The etiopathogenesis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) encompasses complex interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors. The high prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders in autistic individuals has propelled a growing interest in the possible involvement of gut dysbiosis in ASD pathogenesis.

Prenatal exposure to oral glucocorticoids and risk of long-term neurodevelopmental disorders

Scientific Reports
We investigated whether prenatal exposure to oral glucocorticoids (GCs) is associated with long-term neurodevelopmental disorders (LNDDs) in offspring.

Inhibition of BET proteins modulates amyloid-beta accumulation and cognitive performance in middle-aged mice prenatally exposed to maternal immune activation

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
IntroductionGiven the complex etiological basis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it is reasonable to hypothesize that neuronal dysfunction and death result from the interplay of numerous factors, both genetic and environmental.
