A detailed look at a “pregnant brain” highlights a need to investigate the neural alterations that occur during a transition experienced by nearly 140 million people worldwide each year. By Shaena Montanari thetransmitter.org/brain-imaging/…

5 years ago, on the heels of 28andMe, our team designed a new precision imaging experiment: scanning an individual’s brain throughout her entire pregnancy. We are excited to share that these findings are out today in Nature Neuroscience! nature.com/articles/s4159…

This is one of my favorite stories I’ve reported, thanks to work from Laura Pritschet Liz Chrastil and Emily G. Jacobs et al we now have a fairly detailed look at the brain of one woman before, during and after pregnancy. Read for more details over at The Transmitter

Great to see this out in Nature Neuroscience by Emily G. Jacobs and team! Congratulations ! 🤩 cnn.com/2024/09/16/hea… @cnn

Regions of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but have better connectivity, with only a few regions of the brain remaining untouched by the transition to motherhood, according to research published in Nature Neuroscience. go.nature.com/4enUvov

The 1st precision imaging study tracking a woman's brain during pregnancy/postpartum is finally out. My sincere admiration to this amazing team Laura Pritschet Dr. Caitlin Taylor Liz Chrastil Hannah Grotzinger Emily G. Jacobs. Here starts the MBP project, from precision imaging to consortia👀

Laura Pritschet is a rising galaxy! Amazing work on this project!

WOOO!!! Kudos to the amazing all-star trailblazers Laura Pritschet Emily G. Jacobs and team-- CONGRATS!!!!!! nature.com/articles/s4159…

This study is truly amazing. Not just a fascinating investigation with important results, but a true (literal) labor of love from a pregnant mom who volunteered her time & her brain to provide these data! 🧠

Don't miss this groundbreaking study mapping brain changes during pregnancy with unprecedented temporal resolution. Thrilled to be part of this revolution in neuroscience! The Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative Amazing work Laura Pritschet Emily G. Jacobs Liz Chrastil Dr. Caitlin Taylor

Pregnancy literally changes your brain, according to first-ever map of a human brain over the course of pregnancy from UC Santa Barbara news.ucsb.edu/2024/021611/ne…

Does the brain change during pregnancy? You bet it does. How about doing 26 MRI scans on a single person pre-conception to 2 years post-partum. WOW! Laura Pritschet and colleagues nailed it with their new paper in Nature Neuroscience. Key Points: - The authors point out that pregnancy

.@UCSBPsych's Professor Emily Jacobs and her team shed light on the impacts of pregnancy on the human brain, documenting the first-ever map of a human brain over the course of a pregnancy and postpartum. 🧠 ow.ly/B1R750Tosff

Thanks, nature! This The Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative and CZI Science backed study marks the expansion of The Maternal Brain Project with colleagues at University of California UC Santa Barbara UC Irvine and IISGM neuromaternal

A monumental moment for science and women's health! 🧠🤰 Liz Chrastil was the first participant in the Maternal Brain Project and we're now recruiting more pregnant individuals and their partners to participate in this groundbreaking research. Please see our flyer for more info:

Next Tuesday Sept 24th I’ll be giving a talk at Brain and Body Lab - UCLA. If you’re at UCLA or LA area, please come say hi! Thank you for the invitation Dr. Bridget Callaghan 💕
