Scientists Discover Children’s Cells Living in Mothers’ Brains

 

One research group investigating this possibility followed the activity of fetal microchimeric cells in a mother rat after the maternal heart was injured: they discovered that the fetal cells migrated to the maternal heart and differentiated into heart cells helping to repair the damage. In animal studies, microchimeric cells were found in maternal brains where they became nerve cells, suggesting they might be functionally integrated in the brain. It is possible that the same may true of such cells in the human brain.

Scientific proof that children actually do get on our nerves?

 

Actually I find that fascinating. I often see part of me or dh in ds, but I never thought about parts of him still residing in me.

Scientific proof that children actually do get on our nerves?

 

Or *in* your nerves. Blow my mind.

This just proves the theory that moms can never really go to the bathroom without their children.

And explains why we don't have to see to know.
