05 Dec 2024

Description

๐Ÿ‘‰ Download the Connect My Brain app on Apple or Google Play! (it's free) Today's discussion delves into the fascinating world of neuroimmune development and its profound impact on children's health, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood. Recent research about "pandemic babies" (children born after March 2020) reveals important findings about how maternal inflammation can affect fetal brain development, even without direct infection. Using a favorite analogy of tiddlywinks, the complex concepts of neural circuit development become clearer, making brain development more understandable for parents and caregivers. The episode emphasizes the critical nature of developmental windows - those key periods when the brain, gut, and immune system are forming. Environmental factors during these times can significantly influence a child's future health. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, the crucial connection between gut health and neurological development becomes evident, leading to practical solutions for parents dealing with picky eaters and nutritional challenges.
