- Authors
Schendel, Diana; Christensen, Jakob; Rai, Dheeraj
- Abstract
An editorial is presented that focuses on the effect of maternal prenatal use of medications that target specific neurotransmitter systems on offspring autism. During the research, medications were grouped into classes on the basis of each drug’s target neurotransmitter, regardless of the drug’s medical indication. Then autism risk associated with maternal use of a drug in a class targeting a common Neurotransmitter was estimated.
