Dr. Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist, author, and science
communicator whose work is redefining what we know about women’s
brains — from hormones and birth control to motherhood and mental
health. She’s the author of The Women’s Brain Book, Baby Brain,
and Brain Health for Dummies, and host of ABC’s Catalyst, where
she brings neuroscience to life on screen.Check Out Sarahs Books

neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains

Dummies: https://amzn.to/47C70uCSarah has spent her career
debunking the myths that hormones “run the show,” revealing
instead how the female brain is adaptable, resilient, and
constantly changing through puberty, pregnancy, and
menopause.Expect to learn how the pill reshapes the brain and
influences attraction, why mood changes during the menstrual
cycle are far more complex than we think, how pregnancy and
motherhood physically rewire neural circuits for empathy and
care, why “baby brain” might actually be a superpower, how men’s
hormones change after fatherhood, how AI is helping scientists
uncover hidden “pregnancy signatures” in the brain, and what
neuroscience gets wrong — and right — about women.Timestamps:
