The KOMO piece begins: "This is for any parent who's looked at a child and wondered what's going on in that little brain of theirs. Researchers at the University of Washington wonder too, and they're getting answers."
I-LABS researchers are among the first to study a baby's sense of touch and how it's registered in the brain. KOMO visited I-LABS to interview researchers and learn more about the latest neuroscience findings about the baby brain.
"Parents, I think, can stimulate body maps and stimulate with touch particularly. There's so much communication between parents and their babies that's pre-verbal before they can talk to you. It's really skin to skin contact and touching that communicates so much," said Andrew Meltzoff, co-director of I-LABS, in the video segment.
