These results were obtained after a series of experiments involving randomly recruited 38 women, half of whom had already had children. All volunteers were blindfolded and then given clothes to smell, which recently were kids under the age of 4 days. Women were asked to determine whether they feel the smell of the body. At the same time, monitors the scientists demonstrated activity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain of women, which is responsible for the care and thought.
When women who had children, inhaled the smell of baby through clothing, they recognize it in 82% of cases. In addition, at this point they have observed significant changes in the prefrontal cortex. But other women recognition accuracy children odor was pretty impressive - it was 68%. However, no changes in the brain is not fixed.
For comparison, all the volunteers were given inhaled clothing worn by men. The first group of body odor accurately recognized 77% and 74% in the second activity in the prefrontal cortex was observed with all women. Japanese researchers have concluded that motherhood affects the female brain, causing structural changes necessary for better child care. (READ MORE)
