Antidepressants taken during pregnancy affect newborn brain activity
BABA center’s research is featured on Helsingin Sanomat (Finland’s largest newspaper subscription) website about study results showing fetal exposure to commonly used SSRI 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.
