Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that when their mother does not have food, so that mouse babies are not harmed, she provides components of their cells. 8 mice gestating for 24 hours without food in the middle of gestation to study their influence on children. In fact, at this time the hypothalamus develops, a part of the brain that controls basic instincts and functions such as visceral activity, water balance and maternal instinct. As researchers have seen, the placenta divides its tissues and uses its ingredients so that children do not lack food, although the mother does not eat anything. They report on the research carried out in the journal PNAS.
