A new report has found higher levels of maternal stress and large amounts of screen time during early childhood, are associated with higher levels of behavioural problems in children.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issue in the United States, affecting nearly 1 in 5 adults, or 40 million people. Another 19 million adults – 8% of the population – has depression. Prenatal mood disturbances are known to affect the fetal brain, and endocrine system. Left amygdalar volumes were smaller in newborns whose mothers had high psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, a small cross-sectional study suggested. Infants of mothers with elevated maternal distress during the pandemic had median reductions in white matter, right hippocampal, and left amygdala volumes compared with neonates whose mothers had low distress levels, this is according to research from the Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. This was published in JAMA Network Open on June 20, 2024 and is making the medical headlines. This is fascinating data. BUT, this is NOT new news. In this episode, we will review the concerning effect that maternal mood and stress has on the developing fetal brain, and how maternal stress may even be leading to changes in the child's puberty! Listen in for details.

Former Stanford PRC collaborator Dr. Jonas Miller, now a Psychological Sciences Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut, discusses how the stress a woman experiences before pregnancy is associated with the way her child's brain functions around three to five years old. Those children, Dr. Miller found, have a harder time with impulse control.

Join me in this powerful episode as I delve into the often- overlooked, profound impact of stress on a fetus during the birthmother's journey in adoption. This episode reflects the topic of my latest blog. With a lack of support for birth mothers, and at a critical time in her life when stress is at a high point, what kinds of chemicals are making their way through her body and into the bloodstream that she shares with the fetus? How does this affect the child? I talk about this on a scientific level, so that you can make your own inferences about your own life and experiences. Let's talk about the raw emotions, challenges, and the lack of support faced by first mothers that society rarely talks about. I want to discuss the societal stigma and isolation that often compound the challenges, leaving first mothers grappling with their emotions in silence. Birth mothers deserve to be heard.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.15.520572v1?rss=1 Authors: Wang, Z., Zhou, L., Lee, C., Shi, J., Liu, L., Yang, X., Deng, Y., Liu, J., Wang, J., Zhu, W., Sun, Y. E., Lin, Q. Abstract: Perturbations during critical time windows in the normal series of development can lead to adverse functional consequences that manifest later in life. Here, we report that prenatal stress (PNS) during the last week of gestation (E14-delivery) dramatically increased the number of proliferating neural stem/progenitor cells (NSC/NPCs) in the ependymal-subventricular zone (E-SVZ) of male mouse offspring. PNS did not cause significant cell death or a deficit in neuroblast migration to the olfactory bulb (OB). Olfactory behavioral tests showed that while prenatally stressed male mice displayed normal olfactory function in differentiating nonsocial odors, these mice showed impairment in discriminating different social smells. Bulk and single nucleus transcriptomic analyses combined with rescue assays using mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) phosphorylation inhibitors revealed that PNS exposure during the critical period of neurogenesis promoted NSC/NPC proliferation in adult male offspring by sustaining MAPK3/1 activity. Compared to prenatally stressed males, their female littermates showed less change in the number of proliferating cells in the E-SVZ. Copy rights belong to original authors.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Catherine Lebel discuss her study of the risks of maternal prenatal stress for the developing infant brain, how maternal mental health can program the brain of a developing fetus, children’s brain structure and subsequent mental health outcomes.          Key Takeaways:   There is a correlation between maternal depression during pregnancy and the thickness of her child's cerebral cortex.    Manage stress during pregnancy, especially early, with a strong support system including partner, family and friends.     "We know that kids born to mothers who had higher symptoms of depression are more likely themselves to go on to develop depression later." —  Catherine Lebel      Connect with Catherine Lebel:     Twitter:   @catherinealabel  Website:   www.developmentalneuroimaginglab.ca/     Connect with Therese: Website:   www.criticallyspeaking.net Twitter: @CritiSpeak Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net

Lecture delivered by Florencia Torche, Assistant Professor of Sociology and Faculty Affiliate at the Steinhardt School of Education, NYU and Research Affiliate at INSPIRES, NYU School of Medicine. A growing literature highlights that in-utero conditions are consequential for individual outcomes throughout the life cycle, but research assessing causal processes is scarce. This paper examines the causal effect of one such condition (maternal stress) on one such outcomes (birth weight). Birth weight is a key outcomes because it has been shown to affect cognitive, educational, and socioeconomic attainment throughout the individual lifecycle. Using a major earthquake as a natural experiment and a difference in difference methodology, we show that maternal stress has a substantial detrimental effect on birth weight. This effect is focused on the first trimester of gestation, and it is mediated by reduced gestational age rather than intra-uterine growth restriction. Several robustness checks reject the hypothesis that the association is driven by unobserved selectivity of mothers. The findings highlight the relevance of understanding the early emergence of unequal opportunity and of investing in maternal wellbeing since the onset of pregnancy.
