Daniele; Irva Hertz-Picciotto; Newschaffer, Craig J.; Lyall, Kristen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
We examined the association between prenatal fish intake and child autism-related traits according to Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) and cognitive development scores in two US prospective pregnancy cohorts. In adjusted linear regression analyses, higher maternal fish intake in the second half of pregnancy was associated with increased child…

Huang, Yunru; Iosif, Ana-Maria; Hansen, Robin L.; Schmidt, Rebecca J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Prior research studies suggest that maternal polyunsaturated fatty acids could have protective effects on neurodevelopmental outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine associations between maternal polyunsaturated fatty acid intake during pregnancy and risk for autism spectrum disorder and other non-typical development in a prospective…

Rees, Alison; Sirois, Sylvain; Wearden, Alison – Child Development, 2014
This study investigated maternal prenatal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) intake and infant cognitive development at 22 months. Estimates for second- and third-trimester maternal DHA intake levels were obtained using a comprehensive Food Frequency Questionnaire. Infants (n = 67) were assessed at 22 months on a novel object search task. Mothers'…

Almond, Douglas; Mazumder, Bhashkar; van Ewijk, Reyn – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2011
We consider the effects of daytime fasting by pregnant women during the lunar month of Ramadan on their children's test scores at age seven. Using English register data, we find that scores are 0.05 to 0.08 standard deviations lower for Pakistani and Bangladeshi students exposed to Ramadan in early pregnancy. These estimates are downward biased to…

McElgunn, Barbara – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2010
A large body of experimental animal research on the neurotoxic effects of certain environmental chemicals provides evidence of a cascade of neurobehavioural effects including learning deficits, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, increased aggressiveness, altered maternal care and bonding, and an over-reaction to small…

Cheng, Ruey-Kuang; Meck, Warren H.; Williams, Christina L. – Learning & Memory, 2006
We previously showed that prenatal choline supplementation could increase the precision of timing and temporal memory and facilitate simultaneous temporal processing in mature and aged rats. In the present study, we investigated the ability of adult rats to selectively control the reinforcement-induced resetting of an internal clock as a function…
