Pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood cause numerous obvious physical changes, but they also induce long-lasting effects on the neuroplasticity and neurological patterns of mothers’ brains. These changes affect behavioral responses and brain functions. In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, Robert Froemke and Liisa Galea will discuss the neurological changes that occur during motherhood and their effect on behavior and brain health.
