Description
Dr. Julia Ann Koretski reflects on the critical role of the placenta in drug metabolism and potential near- and long-term effects on postanatal life. The placenta was once viewed as a passive, almost mechanical barrier, but we are continuing to learn of the important ways it influences drug metabolism and development of conditions such as postnatal adaptation syndrome and schizophrenia. Dr. Koretski’s commentary is inspired by a Guest Editorial in the journal authored by Dr. Richard Shader, Founding Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. Dr. Koretski is Digital Editor of the journal.
