TL;DR
Clinical and preclinical evidence suggests that prenatal benzodiazepine exposure may be associated with structural, neurochemical, and neurobehavioral alterations, although causality remains uncertain; limited experimental evidence suggests possible neurodevelopmental effects of azapirones such as buspirone, but available data remain sparse.
Evidence suggesting how prenatal exposures to alcohol, cocaine, Zika virus, rubella virus, Toxoplasma gondii, influenza, and traumatic brain injury can impact fetal brain development is examined.

BACKGROUND: Maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) remains a common source of prenatal drug exposure worldwide. MSDP has been shown to increase fetal health risks and interfere with fetal development. Although newborns prenatally exposed to other substances (e.g., opiates, benzodiazepines) have been shown to have inc...

The transition to parenthood is a unique period of adulthood during which the brain undergoes profound and rapid changes, particularly in birthing mothers. This transition is also associated with a risk of developing mental illness, likely due to intersections among the neurobiological changes and a host of psychosocia...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW
This review examines how prenatal inflammation may contribute to psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a focus on maternal immune activation, microglial programming, and epigenetic mechanisms.

Overall, current evidence does not support a significant increase in ASD risk, and clinical guidelines should remain unchanged, given the known risks of alternative therapies, particularly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs during pregnancy.

Prenatal depression is a prevalent complication during pregnancy that not only adversely affects maternal mental health and elevates the risk of postpartum depression but also has enduring implications for offspring development. Alterations in the host metabolome and gut microbiome have been linked to the onset and pro...
