THE MATERNAL LOVE

Summary:

Bringing a child into the world is considered one of the most beautiful things there, especially for the mother what has raised the fetus and has been it for nine months in her tummy, creating an incredible link between them. Recent studies have shown that maternal love changes the brain. Behind that love scientists believe that there are a hormone called occitocina. At first this hormone had got the charge of the regulation of salt and water and over time has come to function as a neurotransmissor and as a hormone together. It is produced in the hypothalamus and is responsible for maintaining close relationships with our offsprings. One of the strongest relationships that exist for a longtime is the one between a mother and his child bond. After all, is more important the interaction with the baby  , although it is true, a caress or a simple contact with the mother make occitocina release and, therefore, continues to create that bond between making stronger.

Crittical appraissal:

It's hard to believe that a simple hormone is able of regulating or feeding a feeling, which is something abstract. However, it makes sense to be a hormone made in the brain and interacts both during pregnancy . Clearly, the fact of having a life for nine months inside you creates links between both of them who will be almost impossible to break but what really amazes is the cause. Therefore, we can conclude that as the baby receives more love he will have more cognitive abilities. But an example that not all feelings will issue related to this hormone or made ​​to share the same genes are cases of adoption . Mother and son create strong bonds regardless of genes.

Glossary:

Oxytocin: is a mammalian neurohypophysial hormone.
