The maternal brain is remarkably plastic and exhibits multifaceted neural modifications. Neurogenesis has emerged as one of the mechanisms by which the maternal brain exhibits plasticity. This review highlights what is currently known about peripartum-associated changes in adult neurogenesis and the underlying hormonal mechanisms. We also consider the functional consequences of neurogenesis in the peripartum brain and extent to which this process may play a role in maternal care, cognitive function and postpartum mood. Finally, while most work investigating the effects of parenting on adult neurogenesis has focused on mothers, a few studies have examined fathers and these results are also discussed.
母体大脑具有显著的可塑性,并表现出多方面的神经变化。神经发生已成为母体大脑表现出可塑性的机制之一。本综述重点介绍了目前已知的围产期成人神经发生的相关变化及其潜在的激素机制。我们还考虑了围产期大脑中神经发生的功能后果,以及这一过程在母性关怀、认知功能和产后情绪中可能发挥作用的程度。最后,虽然大多数研究育儿对成人神经发生影响的工作都集中在母亲身上,但也有一些研究考察了父亲,这些结果也在本文中进行了讨论。
