Women in pregnancy, production, breast-feeding, the body's secretion of hormones will be a series of changes. In a lot of contact with mothers, I profoundly feel the "so-called women, not born as a mother came to this world, but the day after the mother had been trained." Not a good mother to child is born, mothers go through pregnancy, production, breast-feeding, child-raising process, which gradually have a baby of the attention, concerned about the increase, and then try and fail, try, again failed Gradually master the process of child-raising "experience", in order to eventually become a "qualified mother."

In that case, the mother's parental motivation is what is it? Originally, the motivation is simple, because it is "child-care so that mothers feel very happy." The reason I say that because women in pregnancy, production, breast-feeding, the body's secretion of hormones will be a series of changes. From pregnancy to breast-feeding, the female hormone in the body of the special change is positive, dynamic, which can transform the mother's brain. During this period, the mother of nerve cells in the brain the size, length will be changed, neural network will be an entirely new look.

There are two areas of the brain to change, "motherhood" and "intellectual" may be raised

Women in pregnancy, production, breast-feeding, as the body changes in hormone secretion, brain tissue to be modified, the first being the transformation of the field is brought to the women of "motherhood" in the area of the brain. Human mothers will have their own children, love them, feeding them, are out of "motherhood" and to make. When the charge of "motherhood" in this part of the brain tissue was modified after the women's "maternal instinct" will obviously be reflected, thus becoming a real mother.

To be followed by the transformation of human control is "Memory" and "learning" and "fear" and "nervous" reaction of the brain in the area. In 2003, the United States at the University of Richmond and scholars to conduct experiments with mice, found that female rats become mothers, not only to awaken the body's "motherhood", and will enhance memory, the better sense of direction, fear and pressure on the patient's ability to raise 8.

These changes in the mice is also applicable to humans, we, as women become mothers, "intellectual (memory)," and "courage" and "the ability to endure pressure," have been upgrading.

Women from pregnancy to breast-feeding during this period of time, cognitive ability, memory has been growing rapidly, and, even if the end of breast-feeding these capabilities will not weaken or disappear. Recent studies indicate that many women as they age and become the old lady, still maintained a relatively high cognitive and memory capacity.

Memory, the courage to raise the hormone from a gift

You may not think of, known as the "love hormone" oxytocin also went so far as to improve memory and learning ability. The human memory, learning center in the brain is the hippocampus (due to the appearance similar to the hippocampus, so named), and oxytocin in the brain to the hippocampus will be able to have an impact in this area.

According to the 1982 experiment at the University of North Carolina, did not experience pregnancy mice injected oxytocin in the brain, resulting in a rat hippocampal neurons in the brain by the impact of oxytocin, significantly enhance memory. On the other hand, if the obstruction of oxytocin in the rat brain play a role, it would appear a rat memory dysfunction.

"Mother strong change" in the brain's structure

Newborn baby has no ability to protect themselves, so his mother became an angel to protect the baby. Especially in today's society, infants and young children against crime by increasing the protection of the mother of the baby on the defensive instinct is especially important. In order to play such an ability, the mother must have curb anxiety and fear of the "strong" and "courage."

In general, when people feel fear or anxiety, a kind of the brain called the amygdala will be very active up. As a result of psychological trauma caused by stress or psychiatric patients with panic, the amygdala activity has been to maintain a high level, however, has become a mother when women encounter fear or sad when the amygdala activity, however, will not A big improvement. This is the "mother become a strong," the changes in the brain.
