چکیده
e developing fetus is aected by social and environmental inuences, including maternal nutritional status; substance use (both legal and illicit); and psychologic trauma. Correspondingly, the psychologic alterations experienced by the parents during the gestation profoundly impact the lives of all members of the family. Growing evidence implicates the importance of these and other maternal and paternal experiences that occur during and prior to the pregnancy (and even among members of earlier generations) on the subsequent development of the individual (epigenetic eects). e complex interplay between these forces and the somatic and neurologic transformations occurring in the fetus inuence growth and behavior at birth, through infancy, and potentially throughout the individual’s life.
