This is a line of conversation that JEE and I have been having recently, and since it might be of some interest to you — will try to summarize some very creative and evidence-based thinking in this area. Specifically, and most interestingly: • Influenza? Maternal influenza infection prior to closure of neural tube seems to have a high correlation with autism and schizophrenia — verified via large Scandinavian pre-natal care data sets. If you really think about it though, it probably isn't just influenza; it is more likely hyperthermia (fever) related to and possibly linked to some form of infectious/post-infectious insult. • Hyperthermia? An episode of hyperthermia is not uncommon during pregnancy. The consequences depend on the extent of temperature elevation, its duration, and the stage of development when it occurs. Mild exposures during the pre-implantation period and more severe exposures during embryonic and fetal development can result in prenatal death and abortion. Hyperthermia also causes a wide range of structural and functional
