Newfound Brain Circuit Explains Why Infant Cries Prompt Milk Release

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, September 20, 2023

Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the study explored a centuries-old observation in humans and other mammals that when a baby begins a feeding session, its cries alone can prompt its mother to release breast milk.

Key Points: 
  • Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the study explored a centuries-old observation in humans and other mammals that when a baby begins a feeding session, its cries alone can prompt its mother to release breast milk.
  • This sensory hub then sends signals to oxytocin-releasing brain cells (neurons) in another region called the hypothalamus, a control center for hormone activity.
  • In addition, the mothers' brain circuitry only responded to her pups' cries and not to computer-generated tones designed to mimic natural wails.
  • Then, in a form of "reverse engineering," they traced how sound information travels through different areas of the brain to trigger milk flow.
