Researchers said the findings, based on brain scans from one mother, may represent one of the first comprehensive maps of changes in the organ before, during and after human pregnancy.
Changing hormone levels during pregnancy and postpartum as well as parental experience cause changes in the parental brain. Both the father and mother undergo distinct biological changes as they transition to parents, but the changes that occur in the paternal brain are not as well studied.
