According to a recent study, mothers who suffer from anxiety, depression and stress during pregnancy are more likely to affect their children's cognitive development later on.
A study by experts based on magnetic resonance imaging scans of children's brains found that mothers who reported stress during pregnancy had evidence of adverse effects on the hippocampus of their children's brain parts. ۔
According to experts, the hippocampus helps the brain acquire information and controls memory. The study also linked the left hippocampus to mental illness.
The researchers said that while still in the womb, the fetus, which was still in the womb, showed changes in the size of its left hippocampus, which explains the developmental brain development problems seen after birth.
According to researchers, after birth, these babies face constant social and emotional problems and may have difficulty establishing positive relationships with others, including their mothers.
