![]() Intra-uterine insult occurs when the mother instead uses substances, or is under stress so that her stress hormones impact the fetus’ developing brain. Perry next details three key threats to an infant’s developing brain: Trauma in utero (intra-uterine insult) post-birth attachment trauma and other post-natal trauma – all before the thinking brain comes on line around age 3.Ī fetus in utero is designed to develop in nurturing oxcytocin and other “reward” chemicals released by a mother supported by her family, all joyous a baby is coming. So injury during brain stem development in the first 45 months harms development of the entire brain, the neurons around the viscera, and most of the body.ĭr. The rest of the brain develops largely after birth and as an outgrowth of the brain stem. The fetus’ “survival brain” develop first, because infants require breathing, heart beat, and other survival functions at birth, Dr. Next develop the emotional limbic brain which only mammals have (green), and finally the thinking brain aka frontal cortex (blue). His “Four Part Brain” slide (above) shows the time sequence from the bottom up: first the brain stem develops (pink) then the diencephalon cerebellum (yellow) they make up our primitive reptilian “survival” brain. Perry says we’ve got to learn about the neuro-biological growth of the brain in order of time sequence from conception to later development in infancy and childhood. 2013.) I really recommend this – and it will only be online through August 2014.ĭr. His latest research and key slides are online from his National Council webinar last fall, “Helping Children Recover from Trauma,” National Council LIVE, Sept. Perry recommends his books above as the best summaries of his work. “We describe it - and try to ‘illustrate’ each individual’s trajectory separately” with the NMT’s individualized brain mapping technique. Rather, “there are very individualized patterns of exposure to trauma (all with unique timing, nature, and patterns)… So we don’t call ‘it’ anything,” he wrote me recently. He emphasizes that there is no one label for child trauma. Perry’s relationship and attachment theory healing model first assesses each child as an individual, using his Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT). Explore the latest research and clinical treatment with trauma researcher, treatment visionary, and bestselling author of The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, and Born for Love: Why Empathy is Essential and Endangered, Dr. “So often, trauma happens in relationships, but it is also in relationships that healing occurs. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) shape the brain’s organization, which, in turn, influences the emotional, social, cognitive, and physiological activities,” the conference website notes. “Experiences profoundly influence the development of young children. In “Trauma Impacts the Brain: Healing Happens in Relationships,” Perry leads a full-day Pre-conference University on Sunday May 4, to kick off the National Council for Behavioral Health’s Annual Conference ’14 on May 5-7 ( click here for details). Bruce Perry, MD (left) documents the brain science of how attachment problems can cause developmental trauma to a fetus, infant, or child – just when the brain is developing.Īnd he’s taking his “attachment first” approach to Washington. ![]()
