Antidepressive treatment during pregnancy can affect newborn brain activity
BABA center is featured on the University of Helsinki’s website about study results showing fetal exposure to commonly used SRI drugs and their affect on newborn brain activity.
The study found that only minor differences can be seen in the behavioral or neurological assessments of the newborns; however, brain electrical activity exhibited several slight differences between the study groups, including changes in communication between brain hemispheres, as well as in synchronization between cortical rhythms.
