OverviewAI-generated summary

Jayne Bellando's research investigates factors influencing maternal and child health and development. Her work examines the associations between maternal mental health, such as depressive symptoms and anxiety during pregnancy, and newborn brain functional connectivity. Bellando also studies the impact of maternal and infant screen time on child growth and development, as well as the effects of maternal weight on breastfeeding practices. Her research extends to the influence of prenatal exposures, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and polyphenol intake, on neurodevelopment and academic outcomes in children. Bellando also leads studies evaluating interventions for pregnant individuals with obesity, such as exercise programs, focusing on maternal health and birth outcomes. Her scholarship includes 37 publications with 798 citations and an h-index of 11. She collaborates with researchers including Xiawei Ou, Charles M.
