Studies have linked the nutrient copper to the development of the hippocampus and dentate gyrus (the higher learning and higher thinking areas of the brain). Insufficient amounts of copper during fetal development showed slowed development and vice versa. In 2007 researchers discovered the gene and it's transporters that are responsible for the delivery of copper via the placenta to the fetus. Too much copper can be fatal and it is these transporters that deliver copper to the fetus that also removes excess copper from the baby. These transporters are regulated by the mother's oestrogen and insulin levels. A pregnant mother can help to regulate these transporters and in doing so create the environment for her baby to increase the development of the hippocampus and dentate gyrus.
