Article Synopsis
- Prenatal experiences significantly shape cognitive and health outcomes later in life, influenced by complex interactions between parental genetics and environment.
- Recent research has moved beyond just using birth weight as an indicator of fetal development, focusing instead on detailed brain structures like sulcal patterns that are established before birth and persist afterward.
- The study found that factors like parental socioeconomic status and brain volume significantly impact sulcal patterns in the anterior cingulate cortex, highlighting how prenatal development can influence social inequalities across generations.
