Behavioural Teratology

Teratology

Abstract

Following the thalidomide disaster techniques for carrying out reproductive tests (Fitzhugh, 1968) and tests of teratogenicity (Wilson and Warkany, 1965; Robson and Sullivan, 1968) were established. In recent years interest has been aroused in “non-structural” malformations; subtle long term effects on offspring of substances taken during pregnancy. In this way enquiries into the behavioural effects of teratogens have become important factors in the assessment of the influence of drugs on the embryo and fetus.
