Nurturing nature: social experiences and the brain.
نویسنده
چکیده
Summary How does 'nurture' change the brain? Recent evidence suggests that maternal care may shape the infant brain by turning genes 'on' or 'off' during development. Some of the genes affected are important for maternal and social behaviour leading to long-term changes in the nurturing behaviour of offspring. These studies provide new insights into the inheritance of behaviour and the interactions between genes and the social environment across the lifespan.

متن کاملInfant-Caregiver Experiences Alter Telomere Length in the Brain
Following adverse childhood experiences, high quality maternal care can protect against accelerated telomere shortening in peripheral cells. It is less clear, however, how telomere length in the brain is influenced by early caregiving experiences.

متن کاملFine-Tuning the Baby Brain - The Dana Foundation
Nature invented a remarkable way to create a human brain. First, provide it with far more cells and circuits than it will eventually need. Next, be sure that this neural equipment is supplied with abundant energy. Then, one by one, initiate functions such as eye-hand coordination, and let them lay claim to the brain pathways they need; other pathways, less used, will die. This way, brain circui...
