פרק 15 בריינסטורי אין קץ לילדות כיצד המוח מתפתח בראשית החיים ע"י מנגנונים אפיגנטיים Brain story

The development of emotions and the brain in the first years of life is critical for shaping a person’s personality and emotional and social abilities. The brain develops rapidly in the first two years, with the creation of billions of new neural connections. During this period, basic emotional systems, such as the stress response and the ability to regulate emotions, are formed. Studies show that interactions with parents and the immediate environment have a strong influence on brain development. For example, it was found that mouse pups whose mothers licked them more developed a higher resistance to stress. This is an example of epigenetics - how the environment affects the expression of genes in the brain. In the first years, the areas of the brain responsible for emotions and sensations develop faster than the areas responsible for rational thinking. The anterior frontal lobe, responsible for emotional regulation and decision-making, does not fully develop until late adolescence. Therefore, young children need help from adults in regulating their emotions. It is important to understand that infants and toddlers are highly dependent on physical contact and close relationships with their parents. Prolonged separation from parents at a very young age can cause developmental damage. However, controlled exposure to minor challenges and frustrations is essential for the development of emotional resilience. 👩‍🔬 About Dr. Liat Yakir Lecturer and researcher on the biology of human emotions and behavior - the genes, hormones and neurons that shape who we are.
