Before I forget this, I want to just throw one other piece in. I said that the right brain is in a growth spurt from the last trimester. In the last five years, 10 years, there has been a real interest in utero development and evidence to show that you're even seeing lateralization in the fetus.

And there's even evidence now, scientific evidence, to show that the early memories in utero are stored in the right amygdala. So they're down there, so to speak. So we're now paying more and more attention to what is happening there. Because at birth, literally, what you have here is the deeper parts of the right brain are evolving in utero, the insula.

and the right amygdala, the central amygdala. And that's setting up. And you also have synchronization across the placenta, whereby they are regulating each other's autonomic nervous systems.

Well, first of all, most of the studies have been on cortisol. And high levels of cortisol, they're going to cross it.

So if you have, let's say the amygdala, which is in a critical period of growth, the right amygdala, and the cortisol levels are very high, that's really going to not be an optimal situation for that amygdala to evolve because you're going to have a continuous stress response there. And essentially what that means also that if the mother is in a very stressed state during a utero,

Some of that literally now is going to impact the lower areas of the brain. So as far as adrenaline goes, I'm not sure on that. I don't see why not. Although hormones certainly cross, you know, we're looking at not only changes in neuromodulators, especially, incidentally, the key here that we're trying to regulate are the neuromodulators. Excuse me. Dopamine, reward, noradrenaline.

It's those which also early in life literally form neuroplastic, so they will form circuits. That's what we're attempting to regulate here, to down-regulate very high levels of neuroadrenaline and up-regulate dopamine, etc., etc.,
