Baby brain rewiring & cabbage kitchen chemistry

Thursday, 9 April 2026 - 7:30am

This week on Lost in Science, Claire dives into something very close to home — pregnancy — unpacking fascinating new research showing how both first and second pregnancies can reshape the brain for the long term, and what those changes might actually mean for how we think, feel and parent.
