You'll Get It When You Have Kids: What Is Matrescence?

Have you ever been told by a parent 'you won't understand until you're a parent'?

For those childless friends it sounds like a bit of a smug parenting thing to say - but could those who give birth actually go through a physical brain change that sets them apart from those who don't?

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at a process known as Matrescence, to find out how the brain rewires when not only a child, but also a mother is born.
