Developmental exposure to near roadway pollution produces behavioral phenotypes relevant to neurodevelopmental disorders in juvenile rats

E. L. Berg, L. R. Pedersen, et al.

This groundbreaking research conducted by Elizabeth L. Berg and colleagues reveals that traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) during early development can alter neurodevelopment in offspring. The study highlights how proximity to heavy traffic not only delays growth but also affects social communication in young rats. Discover the significant implications of these findings on our understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders.
