✦ Synopsis

Central to both the scientific development of behavioral teratology and the attention paid to this field as an important area of study is establishing that prenatal exposure of pregnant females to exogenous agents leads to neurobehavioral disorders in their offspring. This tenet may not be questioned by the majority of toxicologists, but others may not be convinced. This paper serves as a brief review of the accumulated evidence that prenatal exposure to a number of drugs and environmental/industrial agents produces behavioral disorders in human infants.
