Maternal gut microbiota mediates prenatal stress-induced fetal blood‒brain barrier dysfunction
Gut MicrobesMaternal prenatal stress confers elevated neuropsychiatric risk to offspring, yet the mechanisms underlying fetal neurodevelopmental impairment remain elusive. The gut microbiota has emerged as a key regulator of brain development and behavior.

Women, 2022 Screening for prenatal stress is not routine in Suriname, despite its significant impact on maternal and newborn health. This study assessed the prevalence of high perceived prenatal stress and its sociodemographic predictors in three geographic areas in

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020 Stressful experiences are linked to neurodevelopment. There is growing interest in the role of stress in the connectivity between the amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a circuit that subserves automatic emotion regulation.

Discrete role for maternal stress and gut microbes in shaping maternal and offspring immunity
Neurobiology of Stress, 2022 Psychosocial stress is prevalent during pregnancy, and is associated with immune dysfunction, both for the mother and the child. The gut microbiome has been implicated as a potential mechanism by which stress during pregnancy can impact both maternal and

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The equine ovary exhibits unique structural and developmental features that distinguish it from those of other domestic species, including the presence of an ovulation fossa and an inversion of cortical and medullary layers. This study aimed to investigate the morphostructural development of the equine fetal ovary, with particular emphasis on ...

Maternal prenatal stress and cortisol reactivity to stressors in human infants [PDF]
Stress, 2010 Early life factors can shape the development of hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. Maternal prenatal stress might constitute such an early environmental factor. As little is known about the relation between maternal prenatal stress and cortisol reactivity in human offspring, we performed a longitudinal study including four assessments of infant

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

In-utero exposure to bereavement and offspring IQ: a Danish national cohort study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Intelligence is a life-long trait that has strong influences on lifestyle, adult morbidity and life expectancy. Hence, lower cognitive abilities are therefore of public health interest.

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
