JAMA Pediatrics Podcast – Does Maternal SSRI use affect infant brain structure?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m now the Web and Social Media Editor at JAMA Pediatrics. We’ve got a podcast where I discuss a paper from the journal. I do my best to pick good ones.

Please consider giving this a listen, and subscribe! Doing so makes it more likely that I’ll be able to keep doing this.

This week, I’m covering “Associations Between SSRI Exposure During Pregnancy and MRI-Assessed Brain Structure and Connectivity in Infants”:

This audio summary reviews a cohort study exploring the association between prenatal exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and gray matter volume and white matter structural connectivity in newborn infants.

Audio summary here. Full article here. Subscribe to the podcast at iTunes, Google Play, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, or by RSS.
