Volkova et al. (2021) investigated the effects of early-life exposure to low-dose penicillin on the gut microbiome and gene expression in brain regions critical for neurodevelopment. Using a mouse model, the study provides important insights into how antibiotics may influence the gut-brain axis and potentially contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. Background …
Early-Life Exposure to Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) on Neurodevelopment
Gaylord et al. (2020) conducted an extensive analysis of the neurodevelopmental disabilities linked to early-life exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the United States between 2001 and 2016. The study also examined the economic costs of these exposures, emphasizing the significance of effective public health interventions. Background Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are …
