With the brain, this process happens early in development, again during puberty, and pregnancy probably reflects another wave of cortical refinement.” Increase in brain white matter during pregnancy
The findings show that some parts of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but become better connected. ... the pregnancy-related brain changes of a healthy 38-year-old woman who ...
However, some of Hoekzema’s previous work has indicated associations between pregnancy-related brain changes and the ways a birthing parent’s brain and body respond and bond to infants’ cues ...

Brain mapping can show how an animal's brain changes throughout its lifetime. As of 2021, scientists mapped and compared the whole brains of eight C. elegans worms across their development on the neuronal level [ 68 ] [ 69 ] and the complete wiring of a single mammalian muscle from birth to adulthood.
