| Research Abstract |
Certain intrauterine factors can affect the development of fetal brain function and cause postnatal developmental and mental disorders. These factors include the psychological stress of the mother during pregnancy, external conditions such as air pollution, and intake of chemical substances. This study aimed to clarify the influence of the intrauterine environment on the development of fetal brain function.
Here, we developed a method to evaluate fetal brain function. We also elucidated the relationship between behavioral development and autonomic nervous system function. Furthermore, this study will help to better understand the association between the duration of exposure to air pollution and pregnancy complications. We are also conducting an experiment on the acoustic environment and data analysis regarding stress, which will both be part of this integral examination of the fetal environment in the near future.
