Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how different patterns of maternal psychological stress during pregnancy impact infant brain development and behavior, focusing on both anxiety and depression at various stages of pregnancy.
- - Researchers identified four varying stress trajectory clusters and found that increasing maternal stress in late pregnancy correlated with reduced development of negative affect in infants, with this pattern confirmed in a larger cohort.
- - The findings suggest that the specific trajectory of maternal stress is crucial for understanding and potentially improving infant mental health outcomes, highlighting the need for targeted interventions based on maternal stress patterns.

A potential mechanism involved in these conditions is atypical executive function (EF). Inconsistent findings highlight that EF features may be shared or distinct across ADHD and ASD.
