Coordinated Brain-Network Dynamics of Maternal Adaptation

This study identifies distinct neural networks in mice during maternal stages and behaviors, showing their role in maternal adaptation and stress susceptibility.

Placental Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Insufficiency Drives Neurodevelopmental Disorder-Relevant Behavioral Changes with Sex-Specific Vulnerabilities

This study shows that placental IGF1 insufficiency in mice leads to sex-specific neurodevelopmental behavioral changes and structural brain alterations.

Prenatal stress interacts with embryonic loss of Fgfr2 to increase locomotor hyperactivity in mice

This study examines how prenatal stress interacts with genetic loss of Fgfr2 in mice to affect ADHD-like behaviors, finding increased locomotion but no significant behavioral interactions.

Placental Igf1 Overexpression Sex-Specifically Impacts Mouse Placenta Structure, Altering Offspring Striatal Development and Behavior

This study shows that placental Igf1 overexpression affects mouse placenta structure differently in males and females, leading to sex-specific changes in striatal development and behavior.

Psychiatric risk implications of adolescent exposure to environmental insecticides: a systematic review of rodent studies

This review examines rodent studies on adolescent insecticide exposure, finding neurocognitive, neuropsychiatric, and neurobiological impairments linked to psychiatric risk.

Maternal α-cypermethrin and permethrin exert differential effects on fetal growth, placental morphology, and fetal neurodevelopment in mice

This study compares the effects of maternal exposure to two pyrethroid insecticides, permethrin and α-cypermethrin, on fetal growth, placental morphology, and neurodevelopment in mice, finding that α-cypermethrin has more pronounced adverse effects.

A dataset of adult heart and liver mass after placental Insulin-like growth factor 1 overexpression and insufficiency in mice

This paper presents a dataset of adult heart and liver mass in mice with placental IGF1 overexpression or insufficiency, showing sex-specific effects on heart mass.

Threshold effects of prenatal stress on striatal microglia and relevant behaviors

This study investigates how different levels of prenatal stress affect striatal microglia and behavior in adult offspring, finding that high and immune stress models exceed a threshold for persistent impacts.

Long-term, cell type-specific effects of prenatal stress on dorsal striatum and relevant behaviors in mice

This study examines how prenatal stress affects dorsal striatum cell types and behaviors in mice, identifying gene expression changes linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.
