psychology professor craig kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy are protecting the brain，including estrogen (雌激素)，which we know has many neuroprotective effects，” kinsley said.“its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals，” he added in a telephone interview.“they go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from alzheimers and other forms of agerelated brain decline.“when people think about pregnancy，they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down，” said kinsley，who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the society of neuroscience in orlando，florida.“they do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain.if you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy，they act differently toward young.but if she goes through pregnancy，she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations to the brain.”60how do scientists know “motherhood may make women
