Video: What happens to your brain during pregnancy? (8th November 2024)
Nearly 85% of women become pregnant at least once during their lifetime, and 140 million women each year become pregnant. Pregnancy is known to cause physiological changes to the body, but the corresponding neural changes are not well understood. Laura Pritschet and colleagues analysed the pregnancy-related brain changes of a healthy 38-year-old woman. According to their research, regions of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but have better connectivity, with only a few regions of the brain remaining untouched by the transition to motherhood.
