    • Today’s new findings show that:

      • Inflammation in pregnant women due to infection or stress correlates with weaker connections between certain brain regions in their infant children
      • Feeding mice an inflammation-causing high-fat diet during pregnancy increases depression-like behaviorin the mothers and their offspring
      • A new imaging “tracer” offers clinicians a tool for following the progression of inflammation-related changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease, perhaps enhancing the ability to diagnose and monitor the disease
      • A new lab technique is helping scientists better understand how inflammation leads to fatigue
      • Estrogen-producing cells in the brains of songbirds help inhibit inflammation, perhaps limiting neural damage after a brain injury
