Abstract:
"A groundbreaking exploration of the parental brain that untangles insidious myths from complicated realities, MOTHER BRAIN explodes the concept of "maternal instinct" and tells a new story about what it means to become a parent. Chelsea Conaboy delves into the neuroscience to reveal unexpected upsides, generations of scientific neglect, and a powerful new narrative of parenthood"-- Provided by publisher.
