Evidence is accumulating that exercise has profound benefits for brain function. Physical
activity improves learning and memory in humans and animals. Moreover, an active lifestyle …

Neurogenesis within the adult hippocampus is modulated by endogenous and exogenous
factors. Here, we review the role of sex hormones in the regulation of adult hippocampal …

This article is part of a Special Issue “Estradiol and Cognition”. There are sex differences in
hippocampus-dependent cognition and neurogenesis suggesting that sex hormones are …

Adult neurogenesis exists in most mammalian species, including humans, in two main
areas: the subventricular zone (new cells migrate to the olfactory bulbs) and the dentate …

Becoming a mother is associated with dramatic changes in physiology, endocrinology,
immune function, and behaviour that begins during pregnancy and persists into the …

Maternal brain adaptations have been found across pregnancy and postpartum, but little is
known about the long-term effects of parity on the maternal brain. Using neuroimaging and …

Research over the last 5 years has firmly established that learning and memory abilities, as
well as mood, can be influenced by diet, although the mechanisms by which diet modulates …

As any new parent knows, having a baby provides opportunities for enrichment, learning
and stress–experiences known to change the adult brain. Yet surprisingly little is known …

Pregnancy involves maternal brain adaptations, but little is known about how parity
influences women's brain aging trajectories later in life. In this study, we replicated previous …
