頭脳生物学カナダ研究機構議長、トロント大学ミシソガ・キャンパス副長代理・研究担当

生物学的に独特な特徴として、哺乳類の新生児は、ほとんどの場合母親が彼らに魅力を感じ、彼らの一挙一動に気を配ることは、幸運なことである。母親の前向きな動機と新生児の表現に敏感な姿勢が効果的な育児を可能にしている。このバランスはいかに達成されているのだろうか。心理的かつ神経生物学的な機構を通してだろうか。母親の子供の頃の成長環境がこれに影響を与えているのだろうか？

講義後Q&A、無料茶菓

Mothering, Hormones, and the Brain

Given their truly unusual features, it is fortunate for mammalian newborns that in most cases their mothers are attracted to them and attentive to their signals. ‘Optimal’ mothering is accomplished by a mother who is both positively motivated and also sensitive to her infant’s cues. How is this coordination accomplished? Through which psychological and neurobiological mechanisms? How does early life experience affect these mechanisms?
