Examining prenatal exposure to neurotoxins such as cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, and lead, the work highlights striking gender differences. Exposed males face more severe cognitive, behavioral, and neurological deficits, while the study delves into sensory-motor delays, brain metabolism, and oxidative stress.
Adverse effects of prenatal exposure to neurotoxins, including cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, and lead, are well documented and range from initial growth deficits to later cognitive and behavioral problems. Exciting new research has found that there are gender differences in these sequelae resulting in different outcomes for males and females. Namely, exposed males appear to be more vulnerable and experience greater deficits than exposed females.
Cutting-edge and thought-provoking, this volume explores a full range of topics related to gender differences in: neurological effects and sensory motor delays brain metabolism and gene expression growth velocity, organ maturity, cerebral vasoconstriction, oxidative stress, and sex hormone levels andcognitive, behavioral, neurochemical, and emotional effects.
