Journal Article
Froggatt, S., Reissland, N., & Covey, J. (2020). The effects of prenatal cigarette and e-cigarette exposure on infant neurobehaviour: A comparison to a control group. EClinicalMedicine, 28(100602), Article 100602. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eclinm.2020.100602

Background: Infant neurobehaviour provides an insight into the development of the central nervous system during infancy, with behavioural abnormalities highlighting a cause for concern. Research has demonstrated that prenatal exposure to cigarettes l...

Effects of maternal mental health on fetal visual preference for face-like compared to non-face like light stimulation (2020)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Wood, R., Einbeck, J., & Lane, A. (2020). Effects of maternal mental health on fetal visual preference for face-like compared to non-face like light stimulation. Early Human Development, 151, Article 105227. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2020.105227

The question of whether humans react differentially to face-like versus non face-like light stimulation in the prenatal period has been much discussed, but to date has remained unresolved. In this feasibility study we have come closer to understandin...

Prenatal effects of maternal nutritional stress and mental health on the fetal movement profile (2020)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Millard, A., Wood, R., Ustun, B., McFaul, C., Froggatt, S., & Einbeck, J. (2020). Prenatal effects of maternal nutritional stress and mental health on the fetal movement profile. Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 302(1), 65-75. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00404-020-05571-w

Purpose: Prenatal sub-optimal nutrition and exposure to maternal stress, anxiety and depression in pregnancy have been linked to increased postnatal morbidity and mortality. Fetal growth is most vulnerable to maternal dietary deficiencies, such as th... Read More about Prenatal effects of maternal nutritional stress and mental health on the fetal movement profile.

Infant neurobehavioural consequences of prenatal cigarette exposure: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Froggatt, S., Covey, J., & Reissland, N. (2020). Infant neurobehavioural consequences of prenatal cigarette exposure: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Acta Paediatrica: Nurturing the Child, 109(6), 1112-1124. https://doi.org/10.1111/apa.15132

Prenatal exposure to cigarettes leads to alterations in brain development during pregnancy. This has an impact on postnatal psychological and behavioural processes, affecting an infant's neurobehavioural profile with little known about which aspects...
