Placenta–Brain Axis Under Heat Stress: Inflammatory Pathways Linking Prenatal Thermal Exposure to Offspring Neurodevelopment

Highlights Prenatal thermal exposure was associated with a spectrum of fetal and offspring neurodevelopmental outcomes, with the strongest and most consistent early-pregnancy evidence involving neural tube defects during the periconceptional and neurulation periods. Experimental evidence indicates that heat stress can...
