For today’s episode, Dr. Hanna Stevens joins me to discuss early prenatal factors of early brain development. Dr. Stevens received an MD and PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Illinois. Dr. Hanna Stevens leads the Psychiatry and Early Neurobiological Development Lab at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Dr. Stevens is a distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and holder of the Ida P. Haller Chair.

Her work leads groundbreaking research into the molecular and cellular foundations of early brain development, and is pivotal in linking prenatal stress, environmental factors, and genetic influences on childhood behavior and the emergence of disorders. With a focus on the critical periods of pregnancy and early childhood, her research aims to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of conditions throughout the lifespan. By the end of this episode, we hope you receive valuable information about the Placenta, Womb, and Development.
