Early Adulthood Signatures of Motherhood in Brain Aging
Human Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 10, July 2026.Using structural MRI data from more than 1000 young adults, we found that mothers exhibit younger brain‐predicted age than non‐mothers across distributed cortical and subcortical regions. No comparable association was observed in fathers, and these structural differences were not accompanied by cognitive advantages. ABSTRACT Major life transitions have
