Resum
Study of the effects of prenatal maternal infection on early offspring brain development has long attracted the interest and endeavors of clinicians and neuroscientists.1 Early reports on large-scale ecological data and further birth cohort studies analyzing biomarkers in pregnancy and early life of offspring have yielded evidence that in-utero exposure to infection increases neuropsychiatric disorder risk, particularly schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders.2, 3, 4 The main hypothesis derived from these studies is that activation of immune-inflammatory pathways during maternal infection may result in abnormal fetal brain development.5 However, such a hypothesis requires detailed testing to reveal the pathogenic and pathophysiological mechanisms behind these neurodevelopmental alterations.
