Nomura et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) reported that children whose mothers were pregnant when Superstorm Sandy struck the Eastern Seaboard of the United States had elevated risk of psychopathology. Their study leverages data from a unique cohort of children established prior to Sandy that enabled researchers to investigate children's mental health depending on their prenatal exposure to the storm. Their findings add to mounting evidence that various types of prenatal stressors instigate stress responses that are transmitted to the developing fetus and impart enduring risk for neuropsychiatric disorders.
野村等人（《儿童心理学与精神病学杂志》，2023 年）报告称，在美国东海岸遭遇超级风暴桑迪时怀孕的母亲所生的孩子患精神病理学的风险较高。他们的研究利用了在桑迪之前建立的一个独特的儿童队列的数据，使研究人员能够根据儿童在怀孕期间暴露于风暴的情况来调查他们的心理健康。他们的发现增加了越来越多的证据，证明各种类型的产前应激源引发应激反应，这些反应会传递给发育中的胎儿，并为神经精神疾病带来持久的风险。
