Brain development starts in utero, and the fetal brain can already be affected by the environment, including chemical exposures and maternal health characteristics. These factors range from exposures to large quantities of teratogens (such as alcohol) to variations in the behaviors and characteristics of healthy individuals (such as age, diet, and subclinical levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms), which can nonetheless have long-lasting adverse effects. In this thesis, we reviewed the literature on the effects of prenatal exposures on human neurodevelopment, as well as cognitive, behavioral, and health outcomes. In Study I we found that prenatal exposures are often reported poorly in infant neuroimaging studies and gave recommendati...
