Thanks @ucsbengineering.bsky.social @ucsbece.bsky.social for featuring our work on AI models of maternal brains w @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social @neuromaternal.bsky.social ! More: 📺 Digital twin: youtube.com/watch?v=u0n6... 📺 Maternal Brain @susanacarmona.bsky.social : www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUrC...

UC Santa Barbara electrical and computer engineering professor @ninamiolane.bsky.social and her team are using AI to provide new insights into how the brain changes during pregnancy and motherhood and how such changes might shed light on postpartum depression and other issues.🧠

Pregnancy &motherhood transform the brain in ways we're only beginning to understand🧠 Uncovering these changes w/ @susanacarmona.bsky.social @magdamartinezga.bsky.social @emilyjacobs.bsky.social @grotzinger.bsky.social Kaya Jordan & @cziscience.bsky.social's generous support! tinyurl.com/38jb7hm6

Still reflecting on the wonderful #ParentalBrain meeting earlier this month in Barcelona! One of my favorite conferences to date 🧠🤰 I had such a great time sharing preliminary findings from my dissertation and catching up with others in the field #parentalbrain2025

We're hiring a research tech to assist with data collection! 🧠 Please share widely

Online now:

Join us for our next virtual seminar series Monday May 12 to hear the latest research on hormone therapy and AD pathobiology from Kejal Kantarci @mayoclinic.org! Register at: cornell.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

A dream come true to present my research program in my fav conference, the Parental Brain & my dear home country, Spain. Through the @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social I’m committed to promote deeply collaborative science in the human maternal brain field. This is just the beginning!

Had a wonderful time visiting the BarcelonaBeta Brain Research Center and sharing preliminary data from my dissertation! 🧠 Thank you for showing us your beautiful lab space 🤩

Newsfeed cleanser. Remember how rewarding and fun science is?

Excited to be heading to Barcelona next week for the Parental Brain Conference! I’ll be speaking on “Promoting Big Datasets & Collaboration in Human Maternal Brain Research through @bowers-wbhi.bsky.social ” on Friday, May 9. Can’t wait to connect with this amazing community! #PB2025

We’re hiring a clinical research coordinator to lead a neuroimaging study on brain changes across pregnancy and perinatal depression. wd1.myworkdaysite.com/en-US/recrui... Please RT.

A study in Nature Communications uncovers a U-shaped trajectory in gray matter volume during pregnancy and postpartum, linked to hormonal changes. Brain recovery postpartum correlates with maternal attachment, highlighting the interplay between neuroplasticity, hormones, and maternal well-being. 🧪

After 5 years of data collection (179 first-time mothers + controls), the first bemother.eu/en/ paper is out! We uncovered a U-shaped trajectory in maternal GM volume, resolving a long-standing puzzle in the maternal brain field. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
