The volumes of Grey Matter showed statistically significant reductions in women after pregnancy compared to their pre-pregnancy scans and the control subjects.

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
