Studies show that when expecting and new mothers are stressed, it can affect the baby’s development. Nutrition, feeding habits, sleep, and social interactions can also influence brain development during the first few months of life. Brittany Howell, assistant professor at the Fralin Biomedical Research, will explore how environmental factors, nutrition, and mother-infant bonding influence early brain development.
