Mouse maternal protein restriction during preimplantation alone permanently alters brain neuron proportion and adult short-term memory [Neuroscience]

Maternal protein malnutrition throughout pregnancy and lactation compromises brain development in late gestation and after birth, affecting structural, biochemical, and pathway dynamics with lasting consequences for motor and cognitive function. However, the importance of nutrition during the preimplantation period for brain development is unknown. We have previously shown that maternal...
