What is the pattern of fetal brain development?

When does the fetal brain develop? I believe that every parent attaches great importance to the development of the fetus, especially the development of the fetal brain, because the development of the fetal brain will make the baby smarter, but there are many parents who want to know when the fetal brain began to develop.

When does the fetal brain develop?

After a woman becomes pregnant, the fetus's brain continues to develop during pregnancy, reaching its peak development in the last 3 months of pregnancy and 6 months after birth, and continuing to develop until the age of 6 years.

The fetus's brain volume increases rapidly after organ differentiation at 3 to 8 weeks of gestation, and the fetal brain is fully developed by the time of 5 months of pregnancy, and this rapid development trend continues until term. After the fetus is born, the synapses strengthen the connections, and the peripheral nerves develop rapidly, so that the child has a complete nervous system.

Specifically, the human brain begins to develop at 25 days of conception, and ectodermal cells form the neural tube, which is the starting point for brain development. In the second month, the external and internal structures of the brain change. In the fourth month, the cerebral cortex begins to develop, after which the cerebral cortex produces sulcus gyrus, which represents human wisdom.

In the 5th month, the cerebral cortex grows.

At the 6th month, the cerebral cortex is stratified and divided into different areas, but until then the cerebral cortex is smooth. In the 7th month, folds appear on the cerebral cortex, and the germination of folds is representative of the person. The birth of wisdom.

At the 8th month, the size of the brain increases significantly, and the structure of the brain is further complicated. By the 9th month, the brain has almost all the sulcus and gyrus.

Through the development of the brain, it is not difficult to see that from the formative stage of the brain, adequate nutrition and appropriate information should be given to induce development. From the 4th month, when the cerebral cortex begins to form, prenatal education should enter the formal training stage. With proper induction and active development, the more sulcus gyrus in the cerebral cortex, the smarter the child will be.

Fetal brain development time

The first native neural tissue of fetal brain development is produced by the interaction between the mesoderm and ectoderm on the 18th day after fertilization of the egg. It is generally believed that the formation of the neural embryo is about the 19th day after the fertilization of the egg, which is usually the stage when the mother finds that the conception is successful, and when it is determined that she is about to become a parent, the brain tissue of the fetus begins to form.

From the 19th day after conception, the nervous system of the embryo develops rapidly, until about the 26th day, it begins to close from the bottom and extends down to become the spinal cord, that is, the fetal brain development has begun to form from 4 weeks after the fertilization of the egg, and from the 8th week of pregnancy, the fetus has a basic prototype, although it is still a little far from being fully formed, but at this time, it should be officially called the fetus, not the "embryo".

Fetal brain development is usually at the peak of brain development in 2 to 3 months of pregnancy, so oral folic acid needs to be taken under the guidance of a doctor in early pregnancy, which can reduce fetal neural tube defects, and can also reduce the appearance of anencephaly.

The 3rd to 6th month of pregnancy is usually the period of proliferation of brain cells.

During pregnancy, you need to develop good living habits and eating habits, do not come into contact with radioactive substances, and also need to pay attention to dietary improvement and adjustment, you can eat more protein-rich foods and fresh vegetables and fruits, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, and can also provide the nutrients needed by the body, which can promote the healthy growth of the fetus.

If you take a certain drug because of a certain disease in the first trimester may affect the healthy growth of the fetus, you need to take oral medication under the guidance of a doctor during pregnancy, because any drug may cause malformation and miscarriage of the fetus, and you should not take it blindly. During pregnancy, you also need to go to the hospital regularly for abdominal ultrasound examinations, so that you can understand the development of the fetus.

During pregnancy, you can not take bed rest for a long time, you can go outdoors to do some walking exercises, which can maintain a good mood, can also promote blood circulation, and can help smooth delivery.
