Antidepressants Impact Brain Development
Antidepressant use during pregnancy, particularly fluoxetine, may influence fetal brain development in the prefrontal cortex and heighten the risk of future mental health disorders in children.
The study specifically examines fluoxetine's impact on serotonin levels in the brain and their effect on the development of synaptic connections critical for high-order cognitive functions.
By demonstrating how serotonin directly affects the formation of these connections, the research provides vital insights into the developmental consequences of antidepressant exposure during pregnancy.
The findings underscore the importance of cautious antidepressant prescription during pregnancy and highlight the potential for developing targeted interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders associated with serotonin dysregulation.
