The impact of viral infection during pregnancy on maternal immunity and fetal brain development
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia, are rising in prevalence, yet their etiology and underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Epidemiological studies implicate influenza A virus (IAV) infection during pregnancy as a risk factor for …

Investigation of Phospholipids in Ethanol Affected Prenatal Mouse Brain Using DESI-MS Imaging
The prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is increasing exponentially due to the in-cognizant consumption of alcohol during early pregnancy. This research primarily focuses on monitoring the variation of phospholipid distribution in various regions of the brain using DESI-MS imaging. …

A Robust and Efficient Framework for Slice-to-Volume Reconstruction: Application to Fetal MRI
… of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing fetal brain development. We first introduce a slice-to-volume registration transformer that models input slices as a sequence and performs inter-slice motion correction by simultaneously predicting rigid transformations of all images in 3D space. We …

The influence of maternal HIV and ART exposure on neonate brain white matter integrity and organisation
… than their infected peers, they experience some developmental delays as compared to uninfected unexposed populations. Few brain imaging studies have been done in HEU infants and children, and so the effects of the exposure to in utero HIV and ARVs on their neurodevelopment are not well …

Modelling Prenatal Hypoxia As A Risk Factor For Schizophrenia Vulnerability In Patient-Derived Cerebral Organoids
Prenatal hypoxia during fetal development is a significant environmental risk factor linked to schizophrenia (SCZ) vulnerability. However, hypoxia’s impact on human brain development at the cellular level remains unclear. Our laboratory has developed human cerebral organoids using induced …

Fetal Biometry and Early Behavioural Development
… thesis is to explore the use of standardised fetal biometric measurements and their relationship, if any, with later infant outcomes. In addition, the possible influence of fetal sex and several maternal conditions (polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hirsutism and autism) on fetal growth …

The impact of maternal HIV infection on uninfected neonate brain structure
… therapy (ART) exposure on the developing brain is not well understood. While HEU children perform better than their counterparts living with HIV, they continue to demonstrate greater neurodevelopmental delay than HIV-unexposed uninfected (HUU) children. As a result, neuroimaging studies …

Influence of a physical exercise program, physical activity, sedentarism, body composition and physical fitness during pregnancy on body composition, physical fitness and neurocognition of the offspring: the gestafitos project
… birth, setting the foundation for lifelong neurodevelopment. Several studies have shown that regular maternal exercise induces benefits for the fetal brain development. Understanding the influence of exercise and maternal body composition during pregnancy on offspring body composition, as well as …
