Prenatal Glucocorticosteroids Selectively Impair Language Development
Prenatal exposure to excessive amounts of glucocorticosteroids (GCs) adversely affects the neural development and subsequent behavior of animals (see Matthews, 2000). Despite this, women who are likely to delivery prematurely are routinely given prenatal GCs because they decrease morbidity and mortality in preterm (PT) infants. Between 1994 and 2000, there was no consensus about the optimal num...
متن کاملMaternal prenatal and child organophosphate pesticide exposures and children's autonomic function.
BACKGROUND Organophosphate pesticides (OP), because of their effects on cholinergic fibers, may interfere with the functions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). We conducted a study to assess the relation of in utero and child OP pesticide exposures and children's autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation under resting and challenge conditions. We hypothesized that children with high OP l...
متن کاملNeural Networks and Child Language Development:
Neural networks provide a basis for studying child language development in that such networks emphasise learning. We report a simulation of some key aspects of child language development during infancy. We argue that in order to simulate the uniquely human language learning, it is important to use a ‘conglomerate’ neural network architecture that integrates the collective strengths of a variety...
متن کاملPrenatal environmental exposures, epigenetics, and disease.
This review summarizes recent evidence that prenatal exposure to diverse environmental chemicals dysregulates the fetal epigenome, with potential consequences for subsequent developmental disorders and disease manifesting in childhood, over the lifecourse, or even transgenerationally. The primordial germ cells, embryo, and fetus are highly susceptible to epigenetic dysregulation by environmenta...
متن کاملPrenatal alcohol and drug exposures in adoption.
Prenatal alcohol and drug exposures are a significant concern in many domestic and international adoptions. This article addresses the following substance exposures for children: alcohol, opiates, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines. For each substance, we review the teratogenicity of the exposure and identify the spectrum of neurodevelopmental issues that can present in children ...
