Abstract
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a major public health concern, yet we lack tools to predict PPD during pregnancy. We found that lower sensorimotor gating, as measured by prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle response, can predict risk of PPD in women who were not depressed during their pregnancy.
