Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between paternal drinking before conception and the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Parental alcohol consumption is mentioned as one of the main potential development factors of these disorders. There are already a large number of studies proving a strong link between maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy and FAS and hypothesis concerning links with ADHD and ASD. Paternal pre-conceptional alcohol consumption impact on fetus neurodevelopment is not so extensively researched and discussed as the case of maternal drinking. However, a number of experimental studies on animals have demonstrated decreased litter size, increased prevalence of low-weight fetuses at birth, risk of malformations and cognitive and behavioral impairment, which include learning and memory deficits, hyperactivity, and poor stress tolerance. Both animal and human studies proved the adverse impact of alcohol on sperm that may cause developmental disorders of offspring. In this study, the existing data on human paternal preconceptual alcohol consumption and its effect on ASD, FAS, ADHD are reviewed.
Background The long-term effects of antidepressant use in pregnancy on child neurodevelopment are unclear; meanwhile antidepressant use in pregnancy is increasing. We aimed to clarify associations between prenatal maternal depression and/or antidepressant exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes in school-age children....
A modest association between ART and ASD is suggested that may be shaped substantially by underlying subfertility and specific procedures rather than ART exposure alone, although between-study heterogeneity was substantial.

Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions often originate in youth and can lead to adverse social and functional outcomes. It is unclear whether these associations are driven by genetic liability to these conditions, with possible developmental differences. We examined multivariable associations between polygenic s...

Prenatal exposure to phthalates, especially during early and mid-gestation, appears to be associated with subtle increases in autistic traits, with some evidence suggesting greater susceptibility among boys, particularly in relation to MBP, MEP, and DEHP-related metabolites.

PURPOSE
This study examined whether the age of nap cessation (the transition from daytime napping to sleeping exclusively at night) is associated with screen-positive Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) traits or an Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis in children.

Background/Objectives: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) substantially affect quality of life. Previous studies have not evaluated whether the associations between early-life antibiotic exposure and the risks of ASD and ADHD differ according to the antibiotic agents admi...
