Neuroimaging researchers commonly assume that the brain of a mother is comparable to
that of a nulliparous woman. However, pregnancy leads to pronounced gray matter volume
reductions in the mother's brain, which have been associated with maternal attachment
towards the baby. Beyond two years postpartum, no study has explored whether these brain
changes are maintained or instead return to pre-pregnancy levels. The present study tested
whether gray matter volume reductions detected in primiparous women are still present six …
