Evidence of Subjective, But Not Objective, Cognitive Deficit in New Mothers at 1-Year Postpartum, by Winnie Orchard. Congratulations on this important study 👏🎉 liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.108…

So here it is. The first direct evidence that the human fetus shows facial responses to flavours from maternal diet. Can you guess which fetus’s mum had kale, and which had carrot? AstonPsychology PEACh Research Aston Aston Institute of Health & Neurodevelopment (IHN) link to study in comments.

Thanks Antje Horsch ! Grateful for the thoughtful discussion today at International Association for Womens Mental Health and great presentations from Dr. Catherine Monk, Perinatal Pathways Lab colleagues Inbal Reuveni and Liz Werner 🌟

Very happy to share this JAMA Neurology viewpoint I wrote with Dr. Jodi Pawluski, PhD, HDR, PMH-C and Dr. Bridget Callaghan, taking a critical look at the narrative and science of “mommy brain”. Now online: tinyurl.com/29889852

Childbirth Is Deadlier for Black Families Even When They’re Rich, Expansive Study Finds nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Our opinion was most read this week in JAMA Neurology ! 🎉 🍾 To read: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… To listen: jodipawluski.com/mommybrainrevi… It’s time to rebrand Mommy Brain W/ Clare McCormack Dr. Bridget Callaghan JAMA Network Mommy Brain Revisited Podcast

Great to see this in ⁦The Washington Post⁩, following our JAMA Neurology viewpoint ⁦Dr. Jodi Pawluski, PhD, HDR, PMH-C⁩ ⁦⁦⁦Dr. Bridget Callaghan⁩ ! washingtonpost.com/parenting/2023…

So impt for those who are #pregnant to have clear, well-structured info & resources from sources like Dr. Werner from Dr. Catherine Monk, Perinatal Pathways Lab and others to guide families during this critical earliest window of #childdevelopment & growth

I talked with The Current on CBC Radio about the science of matresence and why we need to rebrand “mommy brain”, along with Dr. Liisa Galea. Check out the podcast version here tinyurl.com/4f3su2j7 Thanks Matt Galloway !

Inflammation… depression… pregnancy… What’s the state of the science? In Current Psychiatry Reports, my paper with Sameera Abuaish l سميرة أبوعيش and Dr. Catherine Monk, Perinatal Pathways Lab breaks it all down: rdcu.be/c8fJF

🚨 New fathering brain paper! In a sample of first-time fathers, scanned during their partners' pregnancy & again at six months postpartum, we focused on prenatal-to-postpartum change in the left hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped structure linked to learning + memory. 🧵

Excited for our #ACNP2023 session on Wednesday morning! Another first-time presenter here 🙋‍♀️

Fascinating & important thread. “Both upward mobility and the idea that hard work translates into success are *less true in the US than almost anywhere else*” And sobering to see Australia not far behind in some of these figures suggesting individualist mentality…

So happy to see this incredible, groundbreaking work from Susana Carmona Magdalena Martínez-García PhD🦋 neuromaternal rightfully in the spotlight!! 🤩

Proud to share our review in Nature Mental Health on the maternal brain and the often overlooked mental load of motherhood. It’s especially meaningful for me this week as I return from maternity leave. With the stellar Dr. Jodi Pawluski, PhD, HDR, PMH-C Dr. Bridget Callaghan & Pilyoung Kim rdcu.be/dLP1N

Summer reading sorted!

The maternal brain is incredible! Laura Pritschet Emily G. Jacobs 🦋 @emilyjacobs.bsky.social have shown, for the first time, the extent of brain changes during pregnancy. Such a valuable roadmap for future studies. So excited to keep moving this work forward! I shared comments here tinyurl.com/yeeajr45

The future of maternal brain science is bright with stars like Magdalena Martínez-García PhD🦋 ! So great to have you in NYC 🤩

Wrote this piece for Nature News & Views building on the landmark study by Emily G. Jacobs 🦋 @emilyjacobs.bsky.social Laura Pritschet. The pregnant brain appears to run through a program of change preparing for birth and beyond… but most importantly, this is a call for more research! 🗣️ cheers Holly Smith

Incredible!
