The volumes of Grey Matter showed statistically significant reductions in women after pregnancy compared to their pre-pregnancy scans and the control subjects.
The main areas involved were located in the anterior and posterior mid-line
apparently they do.
kinda like interrupting a computer during boot cycle and wipeing some of the data off the hard drive..
I think the hormone changes are most likely effecting what people experience as 'pregnant woman behaviour' But what I meant was simply the logic that living with a pregnant woman isn't a scientific study. I don't see where they say the brain change responsible for giving women particular symptoms throughout pregnancy. rather that it is perhaps a type of preparation for motherhood. which is just a hypothesis. theyve only found the changes, they cant say why it exists for certain
The study used the first trimester as being the cut off for nulliparity (never having given birth) - I don't think they recorded how many women had actually had any previous miscarriages or terminations that fit into this category. I think more detailed research would be needed to determine that.
it could be impossible to know for sure if a womans had a miscarriage, if she's never knowingly been pregnant. could be a hard thing to study. So women wo didnt actually become mothers were used in this one? it's confusing!
Have you ever lived with a pregnant woman?
changes in mood and personality dont necessarily mean brain changes

_you think_and yet...you still haven't read the article....?
the truth must be a scary thing.

Yes they used the first trimester as cut off. You can't really have a miscarriage after that without knowing is perhaps the reasoning.
