Background Prenatal maternal stress is a key risk factor for infants’ development. Previous research has highlighted consequences socio-emotional and cognitive outcomes, but less known what regards socio-cognitive In this study, we report on the effects of prenatal related to COVID-19 pandemic 12-month-old behavioral markers Methods Ninety infants their mothers provided complete longitudinal data from birth 12 months. At birth, reported pandemic-related during pregnancy. 12-month-age, remote mother-infant interaction was videotaped: after an initial 2-min face-to-face episode, experimenter remotely played series four auditory stimuli (2 human 2 non-human sounds). The sequence counterbalanced among participants each sound repeated three times every 10 seconds (Exposure, 30 seconds) while were instructed not interact with display neutral still-face expression. Infants’ orienting, communication, pointing toward source coded micro-analytically score (SCS) obtained by means principal component analysis. Results Infants equally oriented stimuli. All Exposure 80% exhibited any communication directed source, 48% showed at least one sound. Mothers who greater had higher probability showing no t = 2.14 ( p .035), or pointing, 1.93 .057). A significant negative linear association found between SCS months, R .07 .010), adjusting potential confounders. Conclusions This study suggests that might have increased altered development in as assessed through observational paradigm Special preventive attention should be devoted born pandemic.

Prenatal stress is associated with child behavioral outcomes increasing susceptibility for psychiatric disorders in later life. Altered fetal brain development might partly mediate this association, as some studies suggest. With study, we investigated the relation between prenatal stress, child's structure and problems. The association self-reported maternal pregnancy-related anxiety (PRAQ-R2 questionnaire, second third trimester) gray matter volume was probed 27 4-year-old children (13 female). Voxel based morphometry applied an age-matched template SPM whole-brain analyses, amygdala assessed manual segmentation. Possible pre- postnatal confounders, such depression among others, were controlled for. Child problems Strength Difficulties Questionnaire by report. We found a significant interaction effect of sex on volume, i.e., higher trimester related to significantly greater left relative girls compared boys. Further exploratory analyses yielded that both are emotional difficulties: While more symptoms, peer relationship overall difficulties, less these difficulties sex-specific associations difficulties. Our data suggest distress leads sexually dimorphic structural changes offspring's limbic system also linked results provide further support notion impacts development.

Sex differences are a robust finding in many areas of adult health, including cardiovascular disease, psychiatric disorders, and chronic pain. However, sex not consistently observed until after the onset puberty. This has led to hypothesis that hormones primary contributors health outcomes, largely ignoring relative contributions early developmental influences, emerging psychosocial factors, gender, interaction between these variables. In this paper, we argue comprehensive understanding gender outcomes should start as conception take an iterative biopsychosocial-developmental perspective considers intersecting social positions. We present conceptual framework, informed by review literature basic, clinical, science captures how critical stages for both can affect children's longer-term outcomes.
