Pregnancy changes a woman's brain, altering the size and structure of areas involved in perceiving the feelings and perspectives of others, according to a first-of-its-kind study published last Monday. 上周一公布的一项研究显示，怀孕会改变女性大脑某些部位的大小和结构，这些区域关系到对他人的感受和看法，这是首次进行此类研究。 Most of these changes remained two years after giving birth, at least into the babies' toddler years. And the more pronounced the brain changes, the higher mothers scored on a measure of emotional attachment to their babies. 这些变化中的大多数在宝宝诞生两年后仍然没有消退，至少维持到宝宝的学步时期。大脑变化越明显，母亲对宝宝的情绪依恋程度就越高。 "Just fascinating," said Dr. Ronald E. Dahl, director of the Institute of Human Development at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the study, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. "真是太奇妙了，"没有参与这项研究的加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校人类发展研究所院长罗纳德·E·达尔博士说。这项研究的论文发表在《自然神经科学》杂志上。 |
