Sex-specific effects of prenatal opioid exposure
Manage episode 353692260 series 1118500
Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) represents a major public health problem in the US with a high socioeconomic burden. The pathophysiology of this condition is not yet fully understood. Data from animal models have shown that opioids modulate brain reward signalling via an inflammatory cascade, however no such data exist for opioid-exposed neonates.
In this episode of Pediapod we meet Early Career Investigator Elizabeth Yen, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Tufts University School of Medicine. She recently published a pilot study which looked at the effects of prenatal opioid exposure on gene expression and white matter injury.
