Although it is known that some hormonal changes (such as adolescent hormonal changes) can regulate the structure and function of the human brain, the structural changes in the brain of mothers have not been clearly understood by humans. Pregnancy does bring dramatic psychological and physical changes due to a sharp rise in hormone levels. However, researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands recently published a paper on the study of first-time mothers in Nature Science in the UK. They found that pregnancy leads to a structural change in the brain for at least two years. These changes happen with social cognition
