"It's the first detailed map of the human brain across gestation. We've never witnessed the brain in a process of metamorphosis like this. We are finally able to observe changes to the brain in real time." - Emily Jacobs, neuroscientist.
"The massive physical changes to the body during pregnancy are well known but much less is understood about how and why the brain changes. Previous studies have focused on brain scans before and soon after pregnancy, rather than throughout." - Daniela Cossio.
"It certainly is a little strange to see your own brain changing like this - but I also know that to start this line of research is very important for understanding maternal health and effects on offspring." - Elizabeth Chrastil.
"Further studies in many more women are now needed to determine the impact of these brain changes, and those insights could improve understanding of conditions such as postnatal depression and pre-eclampsia." - Study findings.
