A recent APEAL study published in Biological Psychiatry is making waves in the media. The paper found that mothers’ exposure to stressful life events in pregnancy predicted higher levels of externalizing problems – including conduct and hyperactivity symptoms – in their children. Congratulations to APEAL alumna Nathalie MacKinnon on her first-author paper, as well as to lead researcher Ian Colman, and Mila Kingsbury for her co-authorship.
