Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them---whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response---suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry. A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds, two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women-even if they had no children. Researcher Dr, Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary view that both men and women would be responding to these cries,” The study involved people who were not parents, yet they are all responding quickly to these particular cries so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status. Researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fi
