Exposure to inflammation during critical developmental windows can disrupt neural circuitry formation and function, increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Using maternal viral infection, my lab investigates how microbial, immune, and microglial signaling might underlie the etiologies of these disorders.
