Description
How does becoming a parent reshape our brains? Even if you don’t have children, you likely know friends or family who are parents. The transition to parenthood sculpts the brain in remarkable ways to help prepare moms and dads for raising a newborn. Understanding the neuroscience behind the transition to parenthood can help us better support the new moms and dads in our lives. I’m excited to do a deep dive on this topic with our guest today. Dr. Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist, speaker, and founder of Think Brain and the Neuroscience Academy’s suite of training programs. She’s also the author of Baby Brain: The Surprising Neuroscience of How Pregnancy and Motherhood Sculpt Our Brains and Change Our Minds (For the Better). Both men and women show myriad biological changes both during pregnancy and after the baby is born. This reshaping of the parental brain reflects the amazing power of neuroplasticity and equips you with new capabilities to match the demands of parenthood. Listen in as Dr. McKay shares the fascinating research about how pregnancy and caring for a new infant physically alters the brain for both moms and dads.
