The developing brain is sensitive to a variety of insults. Epidemiological studies have
identified prenatal exposure to infection as a risk factor for a range of neurological disorders …

Maternal immune activation (MIA) in response to a viral infection during early and mid-
gestation has been linked through various epidemiological studies to a higher risk for the …

Prenatal exposure to infectious or inflammatory insults can increase the risk of developing
neuropsychiatric disorder in later life, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism …

Maternal exposure to infectious agents during gestation has been identified as a significant
risk factor for schizophrenia. Using a mouse model, past work has demonstrated that the …

Background Prenatal exposure to infection and/or inflammation is increasingly recognized to
play an important role in neurodevelopmental brain disorders. It has recently been …

Maternal immune activation during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of
development of schizophrenia in later life. There are sex differences in schizophrenia …

The transport of N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptors (NMDAR s) is crucial for neuronal plasticity
and synapse formation. Here, we show that KIF 3B, a member of the kinesin superfamily …

While the detrimental impact of inflammation on adult hippocampal neurogenesis and
associated behaviors has recently gained credence, the effects of inflammation on the …

Research suggests that maternal immune activation (MIA) during pregnancy increases the
risk of neurodevelopmental disorders including schizophrenia and autism in the offspring …

The N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are subtype glutamate receptors that play
important roles in excitatory neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. Their hypo‐or …
