Orbitofrontal cortex and drug use during adolescence: role of prenatal exposure to maternal smoking and BDNF genotype.

30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Prenatal exposure to maternal cigarette smoking (PEMCS) may affect brain development and behavior in adolescent offspring. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the involvement of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in mediating the relationship between PEMCS ... Read more...

Maternal high fat diet during pregnancy and lactation alters hepatic expression of insulin like growth factor-2 and key microRNAs in the adult offspring.

14 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: miRNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene functions. Maternal dietary modifications during pregnancy and gestation have long-term effects on the offspring, but it is not known whether a maternal high fat (HF) diet during ... Read more...

The promise of epidemiologic studies: neuroimmune mechanisms in the etiologies of brain disorders.

13 Oct 2009 We present our views on current and past epidemiological contributions to our understanding of neuroimmune mechanisms for neurodevelopmental disorders, such as schizophrenia. We also discuss future directions for epidemiological studies and ways in ... Read more...
