The Time of Prenatal Immune Challenge Determines the Specificity of Inflammation-Mediated Brain and Behavioral Pathology (2006, background): “Similar inflammatory mechanisms have also been suggested to underlie the association of chorioamnionitis and the development of cerebral palsy (Dammann and Leviton, 1997, 2000; Wu and Colford, 2000; Wu, 2002).”
