Men Do Not Respond To Crying Babies But Women Do: Reasons by Lilimax(f): 3:00pm On May 07, 2013 |
American study shows that men's brains are not designed to respond to the sounds of a baby crying However both men and women react to cries of autistic babies because they are higher pitched. A new study has discovered that women’s brains are hard-wired to respond to a baby’s cry, while men do not seem to react at all. Research, carried out by National Institute of Child Health in the U.S., asked 18 men and women to let their minds wander. During this time the scientists conducted brain scans. The researchers then played a recording of white noise interspersed with short clips of a baby crying. The scans showed that while women immediately became more alert after hearing a baby’s cry, the brains of men remained in a resting state. Specifically, the dorsal medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate areas, known to be involved when the mind is allowed to wander, were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and later studied for results. 'Determining whether these responses differ between men and women, by age, and by parental status, helps us understand instincts for caring for the very young,’ study co-author Marc Bornsteinfrom the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development told Medical Daily. Although brain activity patterns differed between men and women, there was no difference in the brain patterns between parents and non-parents. The researchers also played the cries of infants who were later diagnosed with autism. Interestingly, hearing these cries interrupted the mind wandering of both men and women. A previous study has shown that the screams of infants who develop autism tend to be higher pitched than those of other babies and that the pauses between cries are shorter. It has been long known that women's bodies react to the sound of babies after pregnancy. Soon after birth, a woman's 'letdown reflex' — the reflex that releases the milk produced by breasts — needs time to adjust to the sensation of feeding. Frequent breastfeeding will help the reflex become attuned to particular stimulation, but until then, many sensations such as hearing screams and even certain thoughts may trigger lactation (the release of milk from the breast).

The scans showed that while women immediately became more alert after hearing a baby’s cry, the brains of men remained in a resting state..REASONS below 1)It probably sounds like music to our ears 2) We cant breastfeed them , so why bother 3)Where the Hell is the Mother? 21 Likes |

i dont think so.i respond to my kids cries even faster than my wife most times,cos it saddens me when a baby who cant tell u wats wrong with him/her begins to cry.and mind u,most of those crying babies just need ur attention.my kids usually keep quiet from a cry when i carry them standing on my feet. 8 Likes |

Mr Aboki: [size=13pt]Okay!! If u don't need the info must u comment?abi dem beg u read am?chai na wa for the new set of people for nairaland wey don turn dis place to another tin with this stupid notice me comments dem! Well is true that women tend to react to the cry of a baby than Men. I feel one of the reason men don't really react as such is d consciousness of knowing that a woman is around and she will take care of the baby!I think if he is alone or aware that no female is around,there would be a totally different reaction. 2 Likes |
