Science proves that smart children are mainly thanks to their mothers

According to many scientific studies, the child's intelligence is inherited from the mother and not the father. Accordingly, the gene that determines intelligence lies on the X chromosome , so it is likely that children will inherit their mother's intellect, with two X chromosomes instead of a single father.

Even scientists have grasped evidence that genes that determine intelligence even if inherited from a father will be disabled and have no effect.

Child's intelligence is inherited from mother.

Previous studies have shown a group of genes called "conditional genes". Some genes in this group only work if inherited from the mother and some genes only work when inherited from the father.

And the gene that determines intelligence is one of the conditional genes and works only when it comes from the mother.

In an experiment on genetically modified mice, scientists sought to increase the genetic genes from maternal mice to some pups. As a result, they have a larger brain than when the body is smaller. The same thing is done with the genes of the father mouse, but this time, the brains of the baby mice tend to shrink while the body increases in size.

Researchers have identified cells that contain only the genes of a mother's mouse or contain only the published mouse gene in six different brain regions, controlling different cognitive functions from eating habits to memory.

Accordingly, the cells that carry the gene of the father mouse appear in parts of the limbic system, which are involved in functions such as sex, eating and war-causing behavior. They did not find any cells carrying only the mouse gene in the cerebral cortex, where the highest cognitive functions took place, such as thinking, thinking, language use and planning. .

To support observations on mice may also be true for humans, researchers from Glasgow University conducted a survey. They synthesized the results of an annual interview of 12,686 people between the ages of 14 and 22, from 1994 to the present.

After that, the factors affecting intelligence are filtered out including education, race, family economy . In which, the researchers concluded that the mother's IQ is the final information. Numbers help predict the most accurate intelligence.

Motherhood is said to help children feel safe, encourage them to explore the world and confidently solve problems.

However, research also shows that genetics is not the only determinant of intelligence - only 40 to 60 percent of intelligence is estimated to be genetic, leaving a similar percentage. intelligence formed from living environment.

In 40-60% of genetic intelligence, mothers play an extremely important role. Even the growing environment of children is within the circle of mother influence.

Researchers from the University of Washington have discovered that maternal relationships are an important factor for the development of certain parts of the brain.

After spending seven years tracking and analyzing multiple mother-and-child pairs, they found that children who received much love from their mothers tended to be smarter and had a 10% greater chance of hippocampus than children lack of love. The hippocampus is the brain area that determines our memory, learning ability and stress control.

Motherhood is said to help children feel safe, encourage them to explore the world and confidently solve problems. In addition, dedicated and caring mothers tend to help children solve problems better, resulting in their children reaching their full potential.

Now, it seems that fathers are worried about their role in parenting. In fact, the father also contributes a small part to the development of the child.

The researchers found the genes that determine emotions, giving children the ability to empathize again from the father. In fact, emotions are also a key to developing intelligence. So, the fathers don't take it for granted.
