Influencia del estrés materno en la etapa prenatal y el desarrollo de estrés del lactante en el primer año de vida.

Abstract

The perinatal period is critical for the development of the nervous system, since it constitutes a space of vulnerability in which the interactions between genome and environment cause morphofunctional changes, eventually persistent until adulthood. Stress is one of these factors as an adaptive response that can imply adverse changes in the medium and long term. Several studies have indicated that these effects of stress are not only reduced to the pregnant woman, but can also transcend and affect the psychomotor development of the fetus.
