Translational Investigation of Gestational Environment on Neurobehavioral Function in Children

詳細な説明
Neuropsychological evaluation of older children than previously studied with histories of fetal exposure to antidepressants and maternal depression during pregnancy is needed and may inform whether a signal for neural disruption exists following fetal selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) exposure. Identification of genetic factors which may afford resilience or particular vulnerability to fetal exposure to antidepressants is a logical component of this translational initiative designed to answer the proposed research question.
Because of the hypothesis that prenatal exposure to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-based drugs has the influence excitatory/inhibitory balance and to shift critical periods, there is reason to believe that some aspects of brain development may also be altered. To this end, this project aims to "scan" a variety of brain functions that include memory, attention, and executive functions; in addition, it will also examine the extent to which face and speech processing are altered in the target sample.
This study will assess older children ages 6-17 with histories of fetal exposure to antidepressants and/or maternal depression during pregnancy. It will evaluate child behavior based on maternal report and utilize neuropsychological evaluation to inform whether a signal for neural disruption exists following fetal SSRI or depression exposure. The neuropsychological assessments will be paired with an analysis of genetic factors which may afford resilience or particular vulnerability to fetal exposure to antidepressants.
This study leverages unique patient resources with respect to children of mothers with well documented histories of SSRI exposure who have been prospectively followed across pregnancy. The multidisciplinary collaboration between the lead investigator, Dr. Lee S. Cohen of the Center for Women's Mental Health (CWMH), and the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience, Boston Children's Hospital (Dr. Charles Nelson), the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and the Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital (Dr. Jordan Smoller) is a remarkable opportunity to better understand the effects of maternal antidepressant exposure during pregnancy on neuropsychological development of children.

調査対象母集団
This study will be composed of two components: a maternal assessment based at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and a child evaluation based at Boston Children's Hospital. Mother and child pairs may elect to complete both components of the study. If either participant does not want the child to take part in the research, the maternal component may be completed alone. Similarly, the child may enroll in the research study without the enrollment of the mother with parental consent.
Women who are interested and eligible for the study may choose to complete the study in-person at MGH or to be evaluated remotely by a phone interview and set of online surveys. All child subjects must participate in an in-person visit at Boston Children's Hospital.
説明
