Prenatal ultrasound evaluation of non-identical twins, with a postnatal follow-up up to the age of two allowed the Author to identify a specific "fetal personality". This features is revealed by the relationships between the fetus and its environment. A review of the prenatal ultrasound videotapes at follow-up has allowed the identification of behavioral patterns clearly related to a well structured function of "fetal memory". The Author discusses several implications of the fetal memory in close relationship with clinical practice in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.
