Mommy Brain: an Evening with Author and Scientist Dr. Jodi Pawluski

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Vernon
Community Room
Do you sometimes have the feeling that your brain is going to mush and that your baby is literally sucking the life out of your neurons? Don’t worry, you’re not losing your mind! In fact, your brain is getting a complete makeover and focusing on new areas of learning which are essential for parenting. 

In their book, Mommy Brain: Discover the Amazing Power of the Maternal Brain, Dr Jodi Pawluski questions our relationship with motherhood and explores, in an unprecedented way, the fantastic universe of the maternal, and parental, brain. Drawing on numerous scientific studies, including her own neuroscience research and experience, she provides insight into how your brain really changes with motherhood, and why. 

Dr Jodi Pawluski is a internationally recognized Canadian neuroscientist who specializes in the neuroscience of motherhood and perinatal mental illness. Her research is affiliated with the University of Rennes, France. As a scientist and therapist, she campaigns for improving our understanding of the parental brain, recognition of the importance of perinatal mental health, and better care for parents. She is a mother of 2 and knows, firsthand, what it is to be a parent.
