51. Dad Brain

In this episode of Mommy Brain Revisited, I talk with Dr Darby Saxbe, Professor of Psychology at USC Dornslife.

We talk about her recent work on how brain changes in fathers may reflect parenting engagement and mental health risk. Fascinating!

For more about Dr Saxbe see https://dornsife.usc.edu/nestlab/current-members/

Her book ‘Dad Brain’ will be out in 2026! Can't wait!

Paper we talk about: Saxbe D, Martínez-García M. Cortical volume reductions in men transitioning to first-time fatherhood reflect both parenting engagement and mental health risk. Cereb Cortex. 2024 Apr 1;34(4):bhae126. doi: 10.1093/cercor/bhae126. PMID: 38615244.
