| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is increased. It is reported that viral infection during pregnancy is one of the risk factors of ASD. However, little is known about critical period to viral infection during pregnancy that cause ASD. To examine the critical period to viral infection during pregnancy that cause ASD, I made viral infection model during pregnancy and examined the critical period. I revealed that there are at least two critical periods to viral infection during pregnancy that induce abnormality to serotonergic system of offspring.
