Next week we will be reviewing two important articles which look at the effects of maternal depression on the developing brain of the child: one from Posner and colleagues and another from Lebel and colleagues.  

This week, there were also a few interesting articles on the association between poor sleep quality and depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period.  One of them is summarized here.
