Less can be more: Fine tuning the maternal brain

Jodi L. Pawluski et al.

Summary: Plasticity in the female brain has become an important area of scientific research, with the transition to motherhood marked by significant changes such as decreased brain volume, neurogenesis, and glial cell density. These changes may optimize caregiving and other postpartum behaviors. The focus is on understanding the "fine-tuning" of the maternal brain and its implications for maternal neurobehavioral health.

Neuroprotective Effects of Motherhood on Brain Function in Late Life: A Resting-State fMRI Study

Edwina R. Orchard et al.

Summary: The study found that increasing number of children parented by older women leads to widespread decrease in functional connectivity, increased segregation between networks, decreased connectivity between hemispheres, and decreased connectivity between anterior and posterior regions. These patterns were in the opposite direction to those usually associated with age-related cognitive decline, suggesting that motherhood may benefit brain function in late life.

A history of previous childbirths is linked to women's white matter brain age in midlife and older age

Irene Voldsbekk et al.

Summary: This study found a negative association between number of previous childbirths and white matter brain age later in life, suggesting a potential protective effect of parity on white matter in older women. Both global white matter and grey matter brain age estimates made unique contributions to the association with previous childbirths, with the corpus callosum showing a stronger relationship relative to other tracts. Longitudinal studies are needed to establish causality and determine how parity influences women's white matter trajectories over the lifespan.
