Hi Everyone!
A recent article by Nathan Collins in Scientific American Mind entitled "A New Mom's Changing Brain" states Mothers brains grow particularly the Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Sustania Nigra, and Pre-Frontal Cortex areas which have been found to be involved in necessary emotions in bonding with newborns. Future studies may look into whether this may be true of fathers, adoptive parents and others who bond closely with newborns.
