Neuroscience and New Research Perspectives on Violence as a Risk Factor in Pregnancy

Abstract

Domestic violence against women during pregnancy can also have a significant impact on the brain development of the unborn child and a neuro-psychopostural alteration. Hiscox et al. These changes could also partly explain the development of neurodevelopmental disorders and other psychiatric pathologies by recalling delinquent behaviors (such as pathological addictions) and criminological, degenerating the functioning of the “Locus Coeruleus, a brain nucleus involved, when dysfunctional in neurodegenerative diseases, in the control of the limbic system”.

It is therefore important to act through a multidisciplinary scientific and social and integrated approach such as TRANSCRANIC MAGNETIC STIMULATION that can include different perspectives of analysis, to work on the neurophysiological-psychological causes of the individual.
