Laura Pritschet

Dr. Laura Pritschet, a postdoctoral fellow in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, reveals groundbreaking research on brain changes during pregnancy. She discusses how continuous scans showcase dynamic transformations that enhance maternal abilities rather than indicate decline. The conversation highlights the historical neglect of women's health in neuroscience, calling for more attention to female-specific issues. These insights could improve our understanding of maternal mental health challenges, like postpartum depression.
