Recent studies have focused on the effects of low doses of Bisphenol A (BPA) on the central nervous system, which may prevent sexual dimorphism of the brain in rodents. To assess sensitivity to BPA, mother-infant behaviors in the cynomolgus monkey were studied longitudinally after treating the mothers with low-dose BPA during pregnancy. Mother-infant interaction was observed for 6 months after the birth of the infants. In conclusion, male offspring of BPA-treated females showed female-like behavior patterns. Prenatal BPA exposure altered infant behavior in the early stages of mother-infant interaction, and male infants were affected more seriously than females.
