Dr. Leena Mittal quoted in Boston Globe magazine on brain changes in motherhood
Dr. Leena Mittal, director of reproductive psychiatry at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a co-Investigator with the Women’s Hormones and Aging Research Program, was quoted in a July 17, 2018, article in the Boston Globe Magazine, Motherhood brings the most dramatic brain changes of a woman’s life:
“I started thinking about a map of the maternal brain as a kind of tool to cut through the romanticization, the history of scientific neglect, the invisibility of mothers. The map would be a tangible measure of the profoundness of new motherhood — one that demonstrates with certainty that the changes women experience “are biological and not constitutional.” – Dr. Leena Mittal
