"It’s not out of the question that women would someday list motherhood on a resume with pride instead of trying to cover up the fact she’s stayed home for a time."

"Comparing the brain of a non-mother to that of a mother is ‘‘like comparing a tree in the winter to one in full bloom in the spring, when it is much fuller and richer," said University of Richmond (Va.) neuroscientist Craig Kinsley, a leading researcher in the field.
The transformation of pregnancy, labor and infant care ‘‘enables the brain to process information much differently than it did before."
