A recent study found that men’s brains shrink after their first child is born and conceived. Of course, a metaphor we call shrinking, does not shrink physically. Anyway, let’s take a look at the details below.

Neurological structure of men’s brains changes after first child

Previous studies of mothers after they had children had shown that their brains had changed to some degree in their neurological structure. In this study, new fathers were examined, and on average, new fathers turned out to be just like mothers. cortical volume Turns out he lost either 1% or 2%.

Experiencing ‘downsizing’ is the ‘downsizing’ of the brain, which is related to parenthood.network default mode‘ occurs. The loss of cortical volume may sound bad at first, but it allows parents to form a stronger bond with their children.

For example, similar cortical losses in mothers cause greater neural responses in their infants and Helps them build a stronger parent-child bond. Previous studies have shown subtle neurological changes in the male brain after childbirth, but for the first time, this detailed study revealed that fathers’ brains “shrink” in the same way that mothers do.
