Prenatal Stress, Season of Birth, and Personality
This study examined the relationship between prenatal risk factors and adult personality traits. Participants' season of birth and their mothers' reports of maternal prenatal stress (MPS) were compared with their scores on the NEO-PI-R, a personality inventory based on the five-factor model …

Prenatal stress alters fear-conditioned behaviors and the response to serotonergic drugs
Chronic, inescapable stress during pregnancy (i.e. prenatal stress) modifies the behavior of the adult offspring. Several behaviors were evaluated in adult prenatally stressed (PS) rats, most notably the acoustic startle response and behavioral inhibition (i.e. freezing). PS rats do not differ in …

THE EFFECTS OF PRENATAL STRESS EXPOSURE DURING ADOLESCENCE: A BEHAVIORAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION
… interni ed esterni. Infatti, l’esposizione allo stress prenatale (PNS) potrebbe scatenare conseguenze di lunga durata sulla prole, come un aumentato rischio di sviluppo di patologie psichiatriche. Inoltre, ci sono importanti differenze relativamente all’esito dello stress nei primi giorni di …

Prenatal stress, the placenta and maternal microbial transmission; implications for health and disease
… amount of epidemiological evidence showing that prenatal maternal distress (PNMD) is a risk factor for a wide range of poor obstetric and neonatal outcomes, as well as an increased risk for the development of metabolic, immune and nervous system disorders in affected children later in life. …

The lived experiences of prenatal stress and mind-body exercises: Reflections of post-partum women
Prenatal stress experienced by pregnant women has been linked to risky and unfavorable birth outcomes. The majority of quantitative research reports found in the literature consistently make the point that elevated prenatal maternal stress levels are strongly and positively related to pre-term …

Neurochemical, epigenetic, and structural brain changes associated with prenatal stress exposure, and the mitigating effects of DHA
… Disease (DOHaD) hypothesis posits that in utero stress exposure can modify developmental trajectories, influencing adult health. Research indicates that maternal stress can negatively impact neurodevelopment, especially in individuals genetically predisposed to stress. Such stress has been linked …

Music therapy and Prenatal Stress Reduction: An Alternative Approach to Reduce the Perception of Stress for women with Uncomplicated and Low Risk Twin Pregnancies
… multiple gestations evokes a great deal of stress leading to probable consequences of depression, anxiety, and increased utilization of medical services (Andersson. Sundstrom-Poromaa, Wulff, Astrom. & Bixo. 2004). Early detection and appropriate interventions particularly with stress …

Influencia del estrés materno prenatal sobre la composición y estructura de la microbiota intestinal infantil
The maternal prenatal stress has been frequently associated with child physical development and health, as well as psychological functioning and behaviour. However, the original mechanisms underlying relationships remain elusive. In this project we review the literature and studies that research …

Alterations in adult behavior as a result of early life manipulations
… by complex gene-environment interactions. Stress is often reported to precede or exacerbate depressive illness, and is therefore used to model depressive-like symptomatology in laboratory animals. While existing paradigms have been useful, few take into account the cumulative effects of …

ROLE OF STRESS EARLY IN LIFE AND OF INFLAMMATION IN THE RISK TO DEVELOP DEPRESSION LATER IN LIFE
… understood. This thesis aims to elucidate how prenatal stress (PNS) impacts maternal health and programs vulnerability to psychiatric disorders in the offspring. Specifically, I focused on maternal inflammation, placental immune signaling, and long-term neuroimmune outcomes. Using a multi-level …

Vulnerability risk factors and physiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between stressor exposure and mental health outcomes during the perinatal period
Stress can confer risk for psychological disorders through intersecting neurophysiological pathways. Although numerous vulnerability-risk factors have been identified to increase risk for stress-related disorders, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between stressor exposure and mental …

Asymmetry and discordance in Carabelli's trait and the hypocone: do MZ and DZ twins point to common underlying epigenetic factors?
… a reflection of developmental perturbations and prenatal stress during pregnancy, was not reflected in the development of asymmetry or MZ twin discordance in Carabelli's trait and the hypocone. Furthermore, sex of the twin pair had no correlation with the development of asymmetry of discordance.

The effect of positive psychological interventions on psychological and physical well-being during pregnancy
Prenatal well-being can have significant effects on the mother and developing foetus. Positive psychological interventions, including gratitude and mindfulness, consistently demonstrate benefits for well-being in diverse populations. No research has been conducted on gratitude during pregnancy; the …

Early environments and neurobehavioural programming: Therapeutic actions of antidepressants. Neurobehavioural programming during development.
Following decades of research on stress and its impact on behaviour, it is now widely accepted that selective psycho-pathologies, in particular clinical depression are more prevalent in humans with prior history of life-stress events. Interest in stress has led to questions about how it might …

A pilot study on the effects of sow management practices on piglet immune responsiveness to weaning stress
The consequences of maternal prenatal stress exposure of the gestating sow on the developing immune system of her offspring is not well understood. There is limited data that primarily focuses on the health and well-being of the neonates of livestock animals, principally within the swine industry, …

EXPOSURE TO STRESS EARLY IN LIFE AND ENHANCED RISK TO DEVELOP MOOD AND METABOLIC DISORDERS LATER IN LIFE: IDENTIFICATION OF THE COMMON PERIPHERAL AND CENTRAL MECHANISMS
… become a focus of recent research. Early-life stress (ELS) is recognized as a key factor that heightens the risk of developing mood and metabolic disorders, often resulting in comorbidities during adolescence and adulthood. This study investigates the role of ELS in contributing to …
