This book provides an overview of fetal psychobiological
research, focusing on brain and behavior, genetic and epigenetic
factors affecting both short and long-term development, and
technological breakthroughs in the field. These focal points
intersect throughout the chapters, as in the challenges of
evaluating the fetal central nervous system, the myriad impacts
of maternal stressors and resiliencies, and the salience of
animal studies. It also discusses specific monitoring and
assessment methods, including cardiotocography, biomagnetometry,
4D ultrasound,

intervention, the book weighs the merits of standardized
evaluations and argues for more integrative research in the
future.
