Certain brain regions may shrink in size during pregnancy yet improve in connectivity, “with only a few regions of the brain remaining untouched by the transition to motherhood,” according to ...
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 body's inflammatory response to surgery likely plays an important role, at least in elderly patients. Various research initiatives during recent years have evaluated whether actions taken before, during and after surgery can lessen the possible deleterious effects of inflammation. For example, anti-inflammatory agents can be given before ...
Researchers said on Monday they have for the first time mapped the changes that unfold as a woman's brain reorganizes in response to pregnancy, based on scans carried out 26 times starting three ...
According to a study conducted by Whitcome, et al., lumbar lordosis can increase from an angle of 32 degrees at 0% fetal mass (i.e. non-pregnant women or very early in pregnancy) to 50 degrees at 100% fetal mass (very late in pregnancy). Postpartum, the angle of the lordosis declines and can reach the angle prior to pregnancy.
Postperfusion syndrome, also known as "pumphead", is a constellation of neurocognitive impairments attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery. Symptoms of postperfusion syndrome are subtle and include defects associated with attention, concentration, short-term memory, fine motor function, and speed of mental and motor ...
These changes may be associated to behaviour like mother-child bonding and how a mother responds to her baby’s cues.
Structural changes continue during adulthood as brain shrinkage commences after the age of 35, at a rate of 0.2% per year. [4] The rate of decline is accelerated when individuals reach 70 years old. [5] By the age of 90, the human brain will have experienced a 15% loss of its initial peak weight. [6]
