Research with rodents is crucial for expanding our understanding of genetic and
environmental risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). However, there is …

Maternal immune activation (mIA) during pregnancy is hypothesised to disrupt offspring
neurodevelopment and predispose offspring to neurodevelopmental disorders such as …

Estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals have been shown to disrupt maternal behavior in
rodents. We investigated the effects of an emerging xenoestrogen, bisphenol S (BPS), on …

Exposure to inflammatory stressors during fetal development is a major risk factor for
neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in adult offspring. Maternal immune activation (MIA) …

Abstract “Intralitter likeness,” the possibility that the shared genetics and/or maternal
environment in multiparous species causes strong similarity for outcome variables in …

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are ubiquitous persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) that are known neuroendocrine disrupting chemicals with adverse …

Our current understanding of litter variability in neurodevelopmental studies using mice may
limit translation of neuroscientific findings. Higher variance of measures across litters than …

Background: The organotin dibutyltin (DBT) is used in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) plastics, in construction materials, and in medical devices. Previous animal studies …

Abstract Oxybenzone (benzophenone-3) is an ultraviolet radiation filter commonly used in
personal care products including sunscreens, textiles and inks, and food and beverage …

Acrylamide (ACR) is an amide formed as a byproduct in many heat-processed starchy-rich
foods. In utero ACR exposure has been associated with restricted fetal growth, but its effects …
