Preliminary evidence of neuropathology in nonhuman primates prenatally exposed to maternal immune activation.

Brain, behavior, and immunity 2015; 48():139-46

Maternal infection during pregnancy increases the risk for neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring…. The data provide the first evidence that prenatal exposure to MIA alters dendritic morphology in a nonhuman primate MIA model, which may have profound implications for revealing the underlying neuropathology of neurodevelopmental disorders related to maternal infection.
