Prenatal programing: At the intersection of maternal stress and immune activation [PDF]

Hormones and Behavior, 2012
Exposure to prenatal insults such as maternal stress and pathogenic infections has been associated with an increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders. The mechanisms by which these programing events occur likely involve complex interactions between the maternal hormonal milieu, the placenta, and the developing fetus, in addition to compounding ...

Prenatal Stress and Maternal Role in Neurodevelopment

Annual Review of Developmental Psychology
This review summarizes recent findings on stress-related programming of brain development in utero, with an emphasis on situating findings within the mothers’ broader psychosocial experiences. Meta-analyses of observational studies on prenatal stress exposure indicate that the direction and size of effects on child neurodevelopment are heterogeneous ...
