Scientists show how pregnancy changes the brain in innumerable ways
A new study offers the first detailed map of the human brain throughout and after pregnancy. It was published in the journal Nature Neuroscience on Monday.
Neuroscientist Liz Chrastil got the unique chance to see how her brain changed while she was pregnant and share what she learned in a new study that offers the first detailed map of a woman's brain throughout gestation.
The transition to motherhood, researchers discovered, affects nearly every part of the brain.
Although the study looks at only one person, it kicks off a large, international research project that aims to scan the brains of hundreds of women and could one day provide clues about disorders like postpartum depression.

I'd have been more shocked if absolutely nothing happened to the human brain and body after birth and it just springs back to baseline like nothing happened!
Oh man.. I wish.
I miss my nice tits. ):
those are sorta needed after the birth for a bit though, no?
That's why they got wrecked. Kids are brutal. They were pretty great before.
Oh no what happened?
Pregnancy causes breasts to sag.
