Every mother is waiting for the baby perturbations. The first light movements of the fetus she feels between 14-18 weeks. Wiggling - the important process of a child's brain development, the researchers say. They help the child to feel their borders.
Scientists studied 19 infants who were born between 31-42 weeks of pregnancy. They watched their movements and the performance of their brain in REM sleep. During the baby's movements, activate the corresponding hemisphere of the brain. Moreover, the sooner the child was born, the more intense the brain works while kicking legs and arms. Premature babies, who were supposed to be still in the womb, with movements observed the strongest changes in the brain.
This discovery will help improve the environment of care for premature babies. As the most active movements occur during sleep, are advised not to interrupt the baby sleep for medical procedures.
