Abstract
Pregnancy leads to changes in human brain that last up to two years postpartum. Yet weather these changes persist beyond that time is unknown. We analyzed MRI data of mothers before and after pregnancy, two and six years postpartum, showing that some brain changes are still detectable 6 years postpartum.
