Physical Therapy Fun Facts

Your brain shrinks during pregnancy!

This fact gives an entirely new meaning to the term "pregnancy brain." A 2017 study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience revealed pregnant women experience reductions in cortical thickness and surface area in sections of the brain called grey matter. This loss of grey matter primarily occurs in the cerebral cortex, specifically in regions that influence social cognition, where we process people's feelings and nonverbal signals. Rather than having a negative effect, this loss of volume improves the brain's ability to process social situations more efficiently, especially when interpreting babies' needs and emotions.

The study found the brain goes through these changes, which are thought to be evolutionary, during pregnancy to enhance emotion and facial recognition, promote mother-infant bonding, facilitate a mother's ability to recognize the needs of her child and more quickly process social stimuli that may pose a potential threat to her child.

These grey matter reductions were seen to have endured for at least two years post-pregnancy, offering the first evidence that pregnancy leaves long-lasting changes in a women's brain.

Common Prickly Ash
Another plant that has fruit you can harvest. The berries can be cooked or dried and even used instead of peppercorn. The berries when raw can have a numbing and unpleasant sensation in the mouth. The fruit is often used as an analgesic and antiheumatic (used to alleviate symptoms caused by rheumatic conditions like joint pain, stiffness, etc). Chewing the bark can alleviate toothaches. It is not recommended to take this herb if you are on blood thinners, or suffer from hypertension, heart disease or have digestive disorders.

Bacteria in your gut can influence your mood. We already mentioned your gut can do some pretty amazing things, but did you know it can also impact your mental health? You have an immense number of bacteria in your gut that are collectively referred to as your microbiome. This collection of bacteria can impact neural development, brain chemistry, emotional behaviors, pain perception and stress.
