| Research Abstract |
In the present study, brain activity of the mothers, who have a typically developing child, were measured during viewing her own child eating snacks by using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, their social responsiveness and parental stress were evaluated by using SRS (social responsiveness scale) and PSI (parental stress index) respectively, and the correlations between these scores and the brain activity were examined. As a result, the parental stress of mothers correlated with the brain regions involved in motivation for child care. The result provides useful scientific evidence for supporting mothers' child care.
