- - The study examines how prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) affects the learning and memory abilities of offspring by looking at changes in specific microRNAs and NMDA receptor subunits in the brain.
- - Pregnant rats were given BPA during gestation, and the offspring were later assessed for gene expression and memory functions at various developmental stages.
- - Results showed that BPA exposure led to decreased expression of key microRNAs and NMDA receptor proteins, causing significant deficits in spatial and fear memory in adolescent rats.
