As seen in a study performed by Molly J. Goodfellow and Derick H. Lindquist, rats exposed to ethanol during early postnatal development experience structural and functional impairments throughout the brain, including the hypothalamus.
In cognitive development, shaping the proper nervous system is necessary for emerging multiple brain-based functions that enable humans to perform mental processes such as perception, learning, memory, understanding, awareness, reasoning, judgment, intuition, and language.
These findings mean that the formation of the nervous system's specific structure should be closely related to the precise coordination in time of all general classes of tissue deformation at the cell level.
A complete developmental program with a template to create the final biological structure of the nervous system is also required for such a complex dynamic process (Val Danilov, I., 2023).
The Shared intentionality approach proposes one of the solutions to the morphology problem, explaining this temporal cell coordination due to non-local coupling in the low-frequency electromagnetic field of the mother's heart (Val Danilov, I., 2023).
