Neuroepidemiology

Link between mothers' nighttime artificial light exposure and children's brain development in a Chinese birth study

Updated

Abstract

Maternal exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) may be linked to children's neurodevelopmental delays.

  • The potential impact of ALAN on neurodevelopment in children has not been previously studied.
  • Maternal ALAN exposure could affect the timing and quality of sleep.
  • Changes in sleep patterns may influence neurodevelopmental outcomes in offspring.
