The prenatal phase of life is a critical period for brain development. It is a crucial period for the formation of structural and functional integrity of the brain with the combination of various factors in the unique environment of the uterus. It is a period of manifold interactions that are essential biological conditions for the continuous development of the human brain and it is also a particularly vulnerable period for the development of potential risk predispositions. Several findings suggest that the formation of the human mind starts as early as the prenatal period.
