Pregnancy triggers significant restructuring of the brain according to MRI images taken during a study of an expecting mother. Researchers noticed an increase in white matter, which aids communication between parts of the brain, and a decrease in grey matter.

The study aims to serve as a base for further research on neuroanatomical changes during pregnancy.
