Impact of Maternal Immune Activation on Nonhuman Primate Prefrontal Cortex Development: Insights for Schizophrenia

Kari L. Hanson et al.

Summary: Late adolescence is a period of dynamic changes in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortical regions, which orchestrate cognitive control. Early challenges may lead to aberrant PFC connectivity and function, while activation of the mother's immune system during pregnancy could contribute to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Evolution of prefrontal cortex

Todd M. Preuss et al.

Summary: Subdivisions of the prefrontal cortex evolved at different times in mammals, with granular areas dominating in primates, including humans, and limbic areas shared by early mammals and modern mammals. The evolution of granular PFC areas shows an increase in complexity from early primates to modern humans, while the shared limbic regions remain relatively conserved throughout evolution.

Adolescent Neurodevelopment and Vulnerability to Psychosis

Pooja K. Patel et al.

Summary: Adolescence is a period characterized by significant changes in various domains, some of which may increase the risk of psychosis onset while others may reduce it. Researching the unique aspects of adolescence that serve as risk factors for schizophrenia spectrum disorders is crucial for understanding vulnerability to psychosis and potential interventions.

Impact of maternal immune activation on dendritic spine development

Martyna Pekala et al.

Summary: Dendritic spines play a crucial role in synaptic transmission and neuronal circuit formation, and abnormalities in spine density and morphology are common in autism and schizophrenia. Maternal infection during pregnancy is a risk factor for these neurodevelopmental disorders.

Maternal Immune Activation during Pregnancy Alters Postnatal Brain Growth and Cognitive Development in Nonhuman Primate Offspring

Roza M. Vlasova et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the neurodevelopment of male rhesus monkeys born to dams treated with maternal immune activation (MIA), finding subtle changes in cognitive development and deviations from species-typical brain growth trajectories in MIA-treated animals. Longitudinal MRI revealed significant gray matter volume reductions in the prefrontal and frontal cortices of MIA-treated offspring at 6 months, along with smaller frontal white matter volumes at later time points. These findings provide evidence of early postnatal changes in brain development in MIA-exposed nonhuman primates, establishing a relevant model system to explore the neurodevelopmental trajectory associated with prenatal immune challenge.

Maternal immune activation in rodent models: A systematic review of neurodevelopmental changes in gene expression and epigenetic modulation in the offspring brain

Rebecca M. Woods et al.

Summary: By systematically reviewing 118 studies, it was found that maternal immune activation (mIA) during pregnancy can cause changes in the transcriptome and epigenome of specific offspring brain regions, including elevated inflammatory markers and reduced myelin and GABA signaling proteins. Disturbed epigenetic markers at nine genes supported mIA-driven epigenetic modulation of transcription.

Alterations in Retrotransposition, Synaptic Connectivity, and Myelination Implicated by Transcriptomic Changes Following Maternal Immune Activation in Nonhuman Primates

Nicholas F. Page et al.

Summary: Utilizing a nonhuman primate model exposed to a viral mimic during pregnancy, researchers studied the impact of gene expression in the offspring's brain, identifying 266 unique genes with differential expression in at least one brain region, particularly in the hippocampus. These findings help elucidate how MIA may increase the risk of neuropsychiatric disorders through molecular pathways.

Advances in SIV/SHIV Non-Human Primate Models of NeuroAIDS

Sonia Moretti et al.

Summary: Non-human primates serve as a relevant model for studying the pathogenesis of HIV-induced nervous system damage, providing evidence of complex interactions between the virus and host including immune response, viral genetic diversity, and genetic susceptibility, which may explain virus-associated central nervous system pathology and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. Researchers have made progress in understanding CNS infection, neuropathogenesis, and SIV encephalitis in monkey models of HIV infection, focusing on pharmacologic therapies and reliable markers for predicting CNS AIDS development.
