Project Title Project Title	Perinatal SSRIs and Social Behavior; Developmental Trajectories and Neurobiological Correlates
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Pawluski, Jodi
Description Description	Jodi Lynn Pawluski, Ph.D., of the University of Rennes, will expand on recent work suggesting that the use of SSRI antidepressants during pregnancy may negatively affect children in utero. Pregnant rats will be treated with the commonly prescribed SSRI fluoxetine (Prozac and their offspring tested for any resulting impact on their behavior and brain activity. Some rats will be subjected to stress, to help identify the impact on offspring of a stressful environment in mothers who take fluoxetine. The researchers expect to characterize any long-term effects of SSRI exposure in utero.
