Profound environmental, hormonal, and neurobiological changes mark the transition to
motherhood as a major biosocial life event. Despite the ubiquity of motherhood, the …

Despite widespread sex differences in prevalence and presentation of numerous illnesses
affecting the human brain, there has been little focus on the effect of endocrine ageing. Most …

The difference between age predicted using anatomical brain scans and chronological age,
ie, the brain-age delta, provides a proxy for atypical aging. Various data representations and …

Growing attention has been directed to the inclusion of females in neuroscience studies, and
to the importance of studying sex as a biological variable. However, how female-specific …

Emerging evidence points to the transition to parenthood as a critical window for adult
neural plasticity. Studying fathers offers a unique opportunity to explore how parenting …

Pregnancy is marked by robust changes, including brain changes to volume, structure,
connectivity and neuroplasticity. Although some brain changes are restricted to pregnancy …

Brain-age can be inferred from structural neuroimaging and compared to chronological age
(brain-age delta) as a marker of biological brain aging. Accelerated aging has been found in …

Unveiling the details of white matter (WM) maturation throughout ageing is a fundamental
question for understanding the ageing brain. In an extensive comparison of brain age …

The field of neuroscience has largely overlooked the impact of motherhood on brain function
outside the context of responses to infant stimuli. Here, we apply spectral dynamic causal …

The parenting brain may undergo remodeling that supports the adjustment to new
parenthood. Prior work on human mothers has found gray matter volume decreases from …
