Sommario/riassunto

This evidence-based book covers the consequences of infant exposure to intrauterine chemicals (a range of drugs and alcohol that are potentially neuroactive, including medicinal drugs e.g. antiepileptics, antidepressants and antipsychotics, as well as alcohol, opiates, cannabis and tobacco).
