Researchers at the Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine have revealed that alterations in fetal microglia ( 1) resulting from maternal inflammation could contribute towards the onset of developmental and psychiatric disorders. The research team including PhD student OZAKI Kana and Professor YAMADA Hideto et al. from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology observed that infant mice that were exposed to maternal immune activation (MIA mice) displayed changes in microglial process motility during gestation and development. These changes remained after birth and were linked to social behavior deficits, such as those that are found in autism spectrum disorders.
