Pregnant Brains Change in Five Places

Social gifts such as voice recognition are located in the sulcus temporalis superior. According to scientists, the area makes sure that the mother bonds to her baby.

The precuneus area forms part of the memory, and according to scientists, any changes could explain why pregnant women have poor memories.

Word and facial recognition are controlled by the gyrus fusiformis area. Any changes could make it easier for the mother to decode the kid's "language".

Several language areas are located around the sulcus frontalis inferior. Any changes could probably improve the mother's ability to communicate with her child.

The sulcus frontalis medius area helps control our focus. According to scientists, any changes make mothers more attentive to their kids.
