“…It is therefore important to know whether early prenatal stimulation of one sensory modality can affect behavioural responsiveness to stimulation of another different sensory system. Development of behaviour has been studied from the beginning of 20 th century [5][6][7] and more recently there are studies regarding the role of prenatal experience on the subsequent postnatal behaviour in avian and mammalian…”

Background: The knowledge of the effects of prenatal sensory environment on the development of sensory systems and other behavioral traits has important implications with regard to the optimum management of preterm infants. There is a controversy regarding the potential benefits and hazards of providing supplemental sensory stimulation to preterm infants. The views range from the perceived importance of minimal handling and reduced stimulation of preterm infants on one end, to the value of providing supplemental tactile, vestibular, auditory or visual stimulation (either alone or in combination) in promoting normal development at the other end. It is therefore important to know whether early prenatal stimulation of one sensory modality can affect behavioral responsiveness to stimulation of another different sensory system. Aims & Objective: The present study is aimed to see the effects of prenatal sound stimulation on the auditory thalamic nuclei in the domestic chick by examining quantitatively some morphological parameters. Materials and Methods: The auditory stimulus of frequency ranging between 100-6300 Hz at 65 dB was given to the chick embryos from E10 to E20. One group was given species-specific sounds of maternal calls (100-1600 Hz) from E10-E15 followed by chick hatchling calls (1600-6300 Hz) from E15-E20. The other experimental group received sitar music sounds given as slow music (100-1600 Hz) from E10-E15 followed by fast music (100-4000 HZ) from E15-E20. The volume, neuronal number and neuronal nuclear area of nucleus ovoidalis, and nucleus ruber-a motor nucleus were quantitatively evaluated on serial Nissl stained sections by stereological methods. Results: Following the auditory stimulation, the nucleus ovoidalis, which is an important auditory nucleus, shows a considerable increase in volume and neuronal number. In concurrence with the effects on other brainstem auditory nuclei studied earlier, the prenatal auditory stimulation also has a positive influence on the developing auditory thalamic nucleus ovoidalis. The nucleus ruber showed no change in volume and neuronal nuclear area but only some increase in the neuronal number. Conclusion: The study demonstrates the positive effect of stimulation of one sensory modality (sound) on development of auditory system.

“…It is essential to analyse the whole complex of covarying factor that influence the individual in his or her development. Research into the individual's development which addresses the interplay between different factors is therefore necessary rather than research aimed at identifying individual causes of favourable or unfavourable development (Carmichael, 1967). David Magnusson (1985) has proposed a so-called interaction paradigm, i.e.…”

In a 15-year longitudinal-prospective examination of the subsequent life and development of parents and children of 211 male alcoholic inpatients (the probands) we compared them with a simple random sample of 200 men from Greater Stockholm (the controls) and their children. The group probands and the controls were then subdivided with respect to alcohol consumption and use of hepatotoxic drugs: (IA) controls with low or moderate alcohol consumption and no use of drugs (n= 169); (IB) controls with low or moderate alcohol consumption with use of drugs (n=31); (IIA) probands with use of alcohol but no drugs (n=171); (MB) probands with use of alcohol and drugs (n=40). Groups IB and IIB had more psychosocial problems than the men of the other groups. They had grown up in families with more abuse of alcohol and drugs, an alcohol-abusing father and mother and had taken up their parents' concomitant drug and alcohol abuse by parental influences. Coping strategies for one child from each of groups IA, IB, IIA and IIB were followed and described. There were differences in the social adjustment and the health status between the proband's children and the control's children. Social assistance was required to a greater extent by the proband groups and especially those from group IIB and the control children from group IB who were registered in the Temperance Register and the Child welfare authorities more often than the control children of group IA.

THROUGHOUT our study of the hereditary background of JL the individual we were confronted with the fact that the inherited structures were influenced by the biochemical environment in which they matured. We concluded that an individual resulted from an interaction between the growing organism and its surroundings. Now we wish to examine more carefully the essential features of this interaction. Those who have worked intensively upon this aspect of the developmental process have kept a number of definite problems before them. A statement of these problems may be in order as we begin our survey.

Origin and prenatal growth of behavior.

Abstract: Yes,-the history of a man for the nine months preceding his birth, would, probably, be far more interesting, and contain events of greater moment, than all the three score and ten years that follow it.
