summaryThe transition to parenthood is marked by significant brain changes which are important for the health and well-being of the parent and child. Too often when we talk about parenting and the brain, particularly motherhood, we talk about how the brain turns to ‘mush’ but this isn’t the case. The brain does amazing things in parents (both birthing and non-birthing). This talk will provide an overview of how the brain changes with parenthood, what this means in terms of cognition and care-giving, and what we know of the neurobiological basis of perinatal mental illness.
