Cerebrum: The Dana Forum on Brain Science
April 2012
Dear Cerebrum Reader,
A new article in Cerebrum's 2012 web edition is now available.
The Role of Stress in Brain Development: The Gestational Environment's Long-Term Effects on the Brain
By Claudia Buss, Ph.D., Sonja Entringer, Ph.D., James M. Swanson, Ph.D., and Pathik D. Wadhwa, M.D., Ph.D.
During gestation, the fetal brain develops dramatically as structures and connections form, providing the foundation for all future development. Exposure to maternal stress can sometimes have deleterious effects on the fetus, depending on the cause, timing, duration, and intensity of stress. Fortunately, postnatal interventions, such as a secure parent-infant bond and an enriched environment, can buffer the potential negative consequences.
