This systematic review explored the impact of maternal immune activation (MIA) on learning and memory behavior in offspring, with a particular focus sexual dimorphism. We analyzed 20 experimental studies involving rodent models (rats mice) exposed to either lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or POLY I:C during gestation following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Our findings reveal that most report detrimental MIA performance highlighting significant role prenatal environmental factors neurodevelopment. Furthermore, this underscores complex effects sex, males often exhibiting more pronounced cognitive impairment compared females. Notably, small subset enhanced function MIA, suggesting complex, context-dependent outcomes challenges. also highlights sex differences caused by terms cytokine responses, alterations gene expression, microglial responses as contribute observed.

Abstract Epidemiologic studies suggest that prenatal exposures to certain viruses may influence early neurodevelopment, predisposing offspring neuropsychiatric conditions later in life. The long-term effects of maternal COVID-19 infection pregnancy on brain development, however, remain largely unknown.

Background: Despite considerable research on pregnancy outcomes affected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the consequences for infants exposed to virus in utero remain unclear. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, encompassing 392 mother-infant pairs delivered between April 2020 and July 2021 at a community hospital network northeastern Pennsylvania, USA. Of these, 198 mothers had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy, while 194 did not. Infant were compared two groups. Results: Pregnant women with their gestation exhibited higher rates of obesity (p = 0.04) body mass indices (BMI) 0.01), more likely be Hispanic ethnicity history chronic hypertension 0.05), as well occurrences postpartum depression gestational diabetes cesarean section (CS) (p< 0.001), preeclampsia 0.04).

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the critical importance of vaccination strategies to protect vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, from severe disease and its lingering consequences. Although growing evidence demonstrates that vaccines are both safe highly beneficial during pregnancy, vaccine hesitancy among women persists, partly fueled by persistent, decade-old "urban myth" linking pregnancy neuropsychiatric disorders in children. Here, we used a mouse model passive immunization with acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (SaCoV-AB) determine effects gestational on key outcomes, maternal offspring health, behavior. We show at higher SaCoV-AB dosage, immune response is reflected elevated TNF-α levels serum, but not placenta or fetal brain, no effect outcomes. report consequences for postpartum care behavior neonatal communication signatures.
