UAB research unveils structural brain changes in pregnant women

  • A study led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona reveals structural brain changes in pregnant women, showing a reduction of almost 5% in gray matter volume in 94% of participants' brains.
  • The research analyzed the brains of 179 women during pregnancy and postpartum, establishing that changes are linked to biological processes rather than just motherhood experiences.
  • The study found that fluctuations in two estrogens during pregnancy are associated with gray matter volume changes, impacting maternal behavior and bonding with infants.
  • The research, published in Nature Communications, is significant for understanding maternal brain neurobiology and future studies on postpartum conditions.
