Conte Study / Maternal Influence on Neuro-Affective Development (MIND)
The participants of this study were women aged 18 to 45 years, who were between 19 and 39 weeks gestation. Thirteen of the mothers reported taking Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) throughout the pregnancy. When infants were less than one month old, they had an MRI. They have been followed up at ages 5 - 7 years.
