Motherhood Can Supercharge the Female Brain
Motherhood can supercharge the female brain, giving lifelong improvements in mental skills and giving protection against the degenerative diseases of old age, reports Dr. Kinsley in a new study to be at the Society of Neuroscience. The researchers said: “Pregnant women do undergo a phase of so-called baby brain, when they experience an apparent loss of function,” said Craig Kinsley, professor of neuroscience at the University of Richmond, Virginia. However, this is because their brains are being remodeled for motherhood to cope with the many new demands they will experience. ”The changes that kick in then could last for the rest of their lives, bolstering cognitive abilities and protecting them against degenerative diseases.”
