Case Report: High Prenatal Bisphenol A Exposure and Infant Neonatal Neurobehavior

CONTEXT Most of the U.S. population is exposed to the high-production-volume chemical bisphenol A (BPA), but targetable sources of exposure remain to be determined. Animal studies and one human study suggest that BPA is a neurotoxicant. CASE PRESENTATION A mother in the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (HOME) Study, a prospective birth cohort examining prenatal and postnatal en...

Continuity between fetal and neonatal neurobehavior.

The human brain is very sensitive to environmental changes affecting its growth and development. Environmental changes influence neonatal behavior after birth, enabling continuity between prenatal and postnatal behavior, but postnatal adaptation could be considered as discontinuity. Thus there is the question of environmental discontinuity between intrauterine conditions characterized by existe...

Effects of maternal narcotic vs. nonnarcotic addiction on neonatal neurobehavior and infant development.
