Summary Of The Dutch Hunger Crisis
After the Dutch Hunger Crisis of 1944-1945 scientists made a direct correlation between malnutrition during gestation and its effect on the neurological development of the children within the womb. They described the negative effects of lack of proper nutrition for a fetus and how this enables a higher propensity to development of metal disorders. While still considering other underlying possibilities behind the cause of schizophrenia spectrum disorders. As well as showcase the level of damage the failure to meet full neurological development can have on the everyday living of any person.

Scientist concluded that while in the womb these children did not receive the proper nutrition needed for a proper neurological development in the brain. This caused a higher propensity to develop schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders in comparison to children born before or after the famine. During pregnancy a well-balanced nutrition can aid in the development of key parts of the brain which is why women are advised to refrain from certain foods and increase the intake of others. As mentioned before consumption of unusual foods during the famine was common which has caused scientist to speculate that ingestion of tulip bulbs may have caused a chemical imbalance altering the overall composition of the brain (Hoek et al., 1998). On the other hand women with malnutrition have lower probabilities of delivering a healthy baby and can often times experience …show more content…

Manages social behavior (e.g., morals) and assessment of body sensations and its reactions (e.g., sexual behaviors). This part of the brain also overlooks personality, consciousness and general intelligence which is why people with head trauma may sometimes change behavioral patterns (Paik, 1998). The temporal part of the brain function revolves around hearing and receiving sensory input such as sounds, pitch and
