Fetus in the uterus began learning to crawl skill

As far as Australia broadcasting company 5, reported that Italy a scientific team found that humans also in the uterus began learning how to cautiously reaching for things. Prior to this, we generally think that 3 or 4-month-old baby is revealed with a purpose of crawling behavior, but these researchers believe that these behaviors may be they have already started before birth.

Misti · Zoe by Eugenia Riveira is IRCCS Burlo Garofolo Trieste child health association, a psychologist, she held in Australia last week of the 8th meeting of the motor nerve and human skills presented the study. Zoe ya at this meeting showed her research group is how to give pregnant 14 weeks and 18 weeks and 22-week women's belly in fetal ultrasound pictures taken. And then they will digitize these information, through the special design of the program for analysis. Zoe ya that pregnancy reaches 18 months after the baby's hands appear random move to face. But to 22 weeks they hand appears to the eyes and mouth are planned in the direction of movement.

On fetal movement analysis for computer display, the 22 week fetal movement patterns and we see the same adult sport mode, the first is the fast-moving, when hands near the eyes or mouth began to slow. The study also shows, and close to their mouth, fetal hand near the eyes when earlier slowed. Zoe ya say, shows that the fetus might be suffering from previous experience, the accumulation of experience, understand that the eyes more sensitive than the mouth. She said that even more interestingly until baby 3 or 4 months before they will show these planned movement. This may be because they have learned how to cope with different environments. Zoe ya said, first of all, a few months have been trapped in the fetus in the uterus, birth suddenly have unlimited space. Secondly, the outside air is thick in the amniotic fluid.

Zoe ya said her study is the first quantitative analysis of fetal movement, she hoped that this will help scientists understand normal fetal movement. She also hoped that the study would on the normal development in the child's prediction help, such as cerebral palsy, etc. Now, she's research group is using the same method on the new year of the movement of the newborn. She said that a previous studies have shown that when there are interesting objects in the surrounding, the baby will be more frequent reached for, shows that stretched things may be a skill can be encouraged. Zoe ya's research has been published in the online journal of experimental research on the brain.
