商品簡介
The negative effects of exposure to such toxins as cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, and lead on prenatal development are well known. Here scientists--most from psychiatry and pediatrics--concentrate on gender differences in those effects. Among their topics are gender-dependent effects of prenatal cocaine exposure, insights from an animal model into gender influences on the cognitive and emotional effects of prenatal cocaine exposure, sex-specific effects of prenatal marijuana exposure on neurodevelopment and behavior, sex differences on prenatal alcohol abuse in humans, and sexual differentiation of the human brain: hormonal control and effects of endocrine disruptors.
