研究发现,气候灾害可能会改变胎儿大脑发育,影响儿童的情感健康。 Study finds climate disasters may alter fetal brain development, impacting children's emotional health.

最近在SPLOS One发表的一份研究报告显示,超级风暴桑迪等气候灾害可能影响胎儿大脑发育,有可能给儿童带来长期的情感挑战。 A recent study published in PLOS One reveals that climate disasters like Superstorm Sandy can affect fetal brain development, potentially causing long-term emotional challenges for children. 奎恩斯学院的研究人员分析了34名儿童的磁共振扫描,这些儿童大约8岁,母亲在风暴中怀孕。 Researchers at Queens College analyzed MRI scans of 34 children, aged about 8, whose mothers were pregnant during the storm. 研究发现,与情绪调控有关的脑部领域Basal banglia的量在增加,这表明有必要进一步研究怀孕期间与气候有关的压力的神经影响。 The study found increased volume in the basal ganglia, a brain area linked to emotion regulation, suggesting a need for further research on the neurological impacts of climate-related stress during pregnancy.
