Although it is well known that these experiences cause a <strong>greater risk of having different diseases<\/strong>, we know little about the mechanisms behind this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes, it&#8217;s a bit difficult to understand that these events can leave a mark [on us] forever,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/ludmercentre\/our-people\/scientific-directors\/patricia-pelufo-silveira\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Pa<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/ludmercentre\/our-people\/scientific-directors\/patricia-pelufo-silveira\"><strong>tricia Silveira<\/strong><\/a>, a researcher at the Department of Psychiatry at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcgill.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">McGill University<\/a>, Toronto, in an interview with <strong><em>TecScience<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it may sound hard to believe, <strong>discomfort during our first years of life can change our cells and organs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For years, Silveira and her team have dedicated their research to understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41390-023-02992-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">childhood adversity&#8217;s short- and long-term effects<\/a> on the health trajectories of those who experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using animal and human models, they have found multiple cellular, molecular, neurobiological, epigenetic, and behavioral effects that explain how adversity, abuse, and chronic stress during childhood impact human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"The cost of an unhappy brain\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L-QCRy-Z-Ak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-studies-on-adverse-childhood-experiences\"><strong>Studies On Adverse Childhood Experiences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These adverse experiences are diverse and range from physical abuse and emotional mistreatment to living in marginalized communities. This increases the presence of <strong>stress hormones<\/strong> such as cortisol and cortisone, affecting multiple organs and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23781957\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">their research has shown<\/a> that if mothers experience adversity during pregnancy \u2013known as <strong>prenatal stress<\/strong>\u2013 it can impact their children&#8217;s eating behavior in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an animal model, they found that adults born to stressed mothers have a greater preference and are more impulsive toward foods high in fat and sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe effect seems to be more marked in females than in males,\u201d explains <strong>Roberta Dalle, a researcher <\/strong>in Silveira&#8217;s laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These eating patterns could be linked to the <strong>increase in metabolic diseases,<\/strong> such as type two diabetes, which have been observed to increase in people who experienced early adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They confirmed their findings with<strong> animal models<\/strong> in studies with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/pr201139\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canadian<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/tp201616\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Braz<\/a>ilian adults they observed throughout their lives. In both cases, they saw that those who experienced prenatal stress showed the same preference for <strong>sweet and fatty foods<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-changes-in-our-brain-and-the-way-our-genes-are-expressed\"><strong>Changes In Our Brain and The Way Our Genes Are Expressed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To delve deeper into what is behind these changes in their eating behavior, the group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0031938418310308?via%3Dihub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">studied the brain of their animal model<\/a>. In doing so, they found that individuals with prenatal stress had different dopamine release patterns than those who had not experienced this type of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDopamine is a neurotransmitter associated with motivation, reward, sleep regulation, mood and learning, as well as impulsivity and control,\u201d explains Silveira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This differentiated release was detected in brain areas that inhibit risky behaviors, such as the frontal cortex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another study, they found that prenatal stress also impacts insulin levels \u2013a hormone produced in the pancreas\u2013 and that this, in turn, influences the release of different neurotransmitters, such as dopamine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe way these individuals respond to food seems to be very much an interaction between peripheral metabolism and central pathways of the brain,\u201d says Silveira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad childhood experiences also seem to affect how our genes are expressed, known as epigenetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/nn.2270\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">In a recent study<\/a>, a group of researchers found a decreased expression of the NR3C1 gene, a receptor for cortisol, cortisone, and corticosterone, in a brain region of suicide victims with a history of childhood abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These findings echo the fact that there appears to be a coexistence between mental illnesses, such as depression and metabolic diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople who have type two diabetes have more risk for food mood disorders and the other way around too,\u201d explains Silveira. Currently, they are trying to understand how prenatal stress and childhood adversity increase the risk of this coexistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-stress-is-too-much-stress\"><strong>How Much Stress Is Too Much Stress?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many studies on childhood adversity have focused on trauma, there are more subtle levels that also have an effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLower socioeconomic status or safety levels in a neighborhood are also adverse experiences and appear to have a cumulative effect,\u201d explains Silveira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it is essential that, as a society, we take care of children so that they live fully, overprotecting them is not the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you live in nature, you are going to have stress and this is normal, our body is prepared to respond to it, the problem is when it&#8217;s chronic,\u201d says Dalle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eliminating any worry or not allowing them to do activities for fear of getting hurt adds stress. Something similar to what happens when we get sick from cleaning ourselves and our surroundings excessively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-future-of-childcare\"><strong>The Future of Childcare<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the years ahead, the group seeks to understand what puts some people at greater risk of experiencing the consequences. \u201cLiving through adversity does not mean you will develop this or that disease for sure,\u201d explains Dalle. Studying this could encourage prevention programs explicitly aimed at those who are most vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For them, the evidence they have found is an opportunity to improve as a society and guarantee that children live safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think the message that we get is that childhood is a very important time and that the support is in place, even before birth,\u201d reflects Silveira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this information, they wish prevention, prenatal care, support from well-trained professionals, and timely interventions to reduce the impact of these experiences on those who have already lived them to be promoted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through science, we could even measure which interventions work or what factors are associated with some people responding to them while others do not. \u201cCould we have markers for effectiveness?\u201d Silveira asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they find the answers to these questions, the researcher assures that their work will continue and that they seek to contribute to a society that takes better care of their infancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s why we are here, to study these things and propose new solutions,\u201d Silveira concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Childhood adversity has molecular, cellular, neurobiological, epigenetic, and behavioral effects that last
