  Hi @theawakening
  Thanks for your question.
  I’ve been involved in a couple of studies where I was really excited about the results, but my favourite thing I’ve found out recently is:
  When women are pregnant, their children are seem to be cleverer if the mothers start off thinner, and put more weight on during their pregnancy. So the brains of children can be affected by their mother’s behaviour during pregnancy!
  
  Hope this answers your question, feel free to ask me more about this if you want 🙂
