Send us a textIn today's episode, we speak with neuroscientist Dr. Jodi Pawluski and chat about parental changes in the brain. Society uses the term "mom brain" to signify negative aspects of brain functioning, however, you will be surprised at which changes happen to a mom's brain and why they happen.  Do these changes also happen in dads, same-sex couples, or couples that adopt a child? You will need to tune in to find out! Marion and Cindy also cover perinatal mental health with Dr. Pawluski and discuss medications and the research around taking them during pregnancy.
