WHAT DID I FIND?
The findings presented herein provide evidence suggesting that Prenatal Maternal Stress results in neurodevelopmental deficits which especially interest non-neuronal cell populations.
Maternal Stress influenced different brain variables in different brain regions:
- TELENCEPHALON
Prenatal maternal stress significantly reduces Mass (Only in Females) and marginally reduces Non-neurons. - CEREBELLUM
Prenatal maternal stress marginally reduces Non-Neuron number (Only in Females). - WHOLE BRAIN
Prenatal maternal stress marginally reduces Proportional Mass (Only in Females).
Overall, prenatal maternal stress showed mainly sex-dependent effects, with an impact of particular importance on Non-Neuronal populations, but no significant influence on Neuronal numbers.
