Abstract

Earlier research has established strong evidence for structural brain changes across pregnancy. Pritschet et al. now enhanced our understanding of pregnancy-induced brain plasticity by following one woman throughout her pregnancy and the postpartum period, revealing insights into the dynamics of grey and white matter alterations across the transition to motherhood.
