The aim of the present study was to examine the association between prenatal psychosocial stress exposure and subsequent prefrontal cortex-dependent working memory performance in human adults....
Prenatal exposure to maternal psychosocial stress and HPA axis regulation in young adults (2009)
Entringer, Sonja, Kumsta, Robert, Wadhwa, Pathik, Hellhammer, Dirk, Wüst, Stefan
Epidemiological studies have reported associations between measures of size and weight at birth and disease risk in later life. Alteration in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal...
