520 1 _a"For years, women have been told that having a baby means checking your brain at the delivery room door. But exciting new research into motherhood and the mind is contradicting the myth of "the mommy brain," and revealing that quite the opposite is true: having babies can make you smarter." "A mother's work - the repetitive nurturing acts, the relentless multitasking the emotional demands - combined with powerful hormonal stimulation and a flood of sensory experience, can literally reshape the brain, making it a more complex organ."--BOOK JACKET.
