The mystery of mother-child bond initiating and nurturing through breast feeding has been unwrapped in a chain of events eventually culminated into the result, which suggests releasing of ‘oxitrine’ harmone in the mothers brain is the sole cause of emotional bond that mother and child shares.
When oxytrine is released with in the brain, it also helps in strengthening the bond between the mother and the child,but to have these, a very large amount must be released abruptly to cause a wave of the harmone that can spread through the brain.
These are neurons which are specialised in secreting oxytocine, but to produce such a flow, very large amount of oxtocine is needed. But, the scientists have now found that sucking is not only the way to secret oxytocine. It also works towards recruiting dentrites into secreting the harmone.
