Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The mother's brain is prepared by the hormones of pregnancy to show the strong maternal feelings that ensure the newborn is cared for. These hormones induce a cascade of changes in the brain, reducing stress reactions, evoking maternal behaviour and preparing the neuroendocrine circuits that drive the birth process and ensure that the suckling infant gets milk. The nerve cells that make oxytocin are involved in all of these aspects of motherhood, and details are emerging of how their performance is adapted by pregnancy. |
