SUMMARY:Neuroanatomical changes associated with human pregnancy
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Susana Carmona Cañabate\, PhD\, Neuroimaging
  group Hospital Gregorio Marañón Madrid\, Spain\n\nDr. Susana Carmona Ca
 ñabate is a Senior Researcher at the “Instituto de Investigation Biomé
 dica del Hospital Gregorio Marañón” in Madrid\, Spain. There\, she dir
 ects the neuroimaging laboratory “Neuromaternal\,” which is specialize
 d in studying the human maternal brain by combining cutting-edge multimoda
 l neuroimaging techniques with fluid biomarkers and neuropsychological ass
 essments.\n\nDr. Cañabate also co-directs the group “CB/07/09/0031” 
 and the “Neuroimaging Platform” at the “Centro de Investigación Bio
 médica en Red de Salud Mental” (CIBERSAM). Internationally\, she co-lea
 ds the “Pregnancy and Motherhood” subgroup of the “ENIGMA-Neuroendoc
 rinology Consortium” and chairs the “Maternal Brain Project” at the 
 “Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative”.\n\nDr. Cañabate has 
 pursued a scientific career even before completing her degree in Clinical 
 Psychology in 2004. During her research trajectory\, Dr. Cañabate has sec
 ured funding through various public grants and fellowships that covered he
 r entire predoctoral\, postdoctoral\, and consolidation stages. As a Ph.D.
  student\, she received training in psychiatry at the “Department of Psy
 chiatry” of the “Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona” and the “Hosp
 ital del Mar” (Barcelona\, Spain). This training was complemented by var
 ious courses and internships in neuroscience and neuroimaging\, including 
 a six-month fellowship at the “Social Affective Neuroscience Lab” at 
 “Columbia University” in 2006 (New York\, USA). As a postdoc student\,
  Dr. Cañabate deepened her training in neuroimaging through a postdoctora
 l fellowship at the “Center for Brain Science” at “Harvard Universit
 y” (2010-2013). In 2013\, she was awarded the M-VISION-Marie Curie Actio
 ns Incoming Fellowship and later a Miguel Servet contract\, which enabled 
 her to establish and direct her laboratory.\n\nDr. Cañabate's scientific 
 contributions include 59 peer-reviewed publications\, several book chapter
 s\, two books\, the direction of three national and three international pr
 ojects\, the supervision of six doctoral theses\, an intellectual property
  registration\, and four national awards.\n\nDuring the last decade\, Dr. 
 Cañabate has specialized in the study of the human maternal brain. Her fi
 rst paper as a senior author discovered profound and long-lasting changes 
 during gestation in gray matter volume. This pivotal work\, published in N
 ature Neuroscience in 2017\, became the foundation for her laboratory's re
 search and a reference for other international researchers in the field. S
 ince then\, her lab has been working on longitudinally characterizing thes
 e changes at multiple levels: hormonally\, neuronally\, and behaviorally. 
 These efforts have resulted in scientific publications in high-impact jour
 nals such as Nature Neuroscience and Nature Reviews Neuroscience\, as well
  as articles featuring their work in prestigious journals such as Nature a
 nd Science\, the latter describing it as 'first of its kind'.\n\nBesides h
 er research activity\, Dr. Cañabate is also highly committed to scientifi
 c dissemination. She has written a book about the maternal brain for the g
 eneral public and I have participated in various media channels\, includin
 g television\, radio\, and the press. Her laboratory also maintains a stro
 ng presence on social media (@neuromaternal)\, engaging over 56K followers
  to promote public understanding of neuroscience of parenthood.\n\nTalk su
 mmary:\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Carmona will present recent findings from lon
 gitudinal MRI studies that track women from preconception through the post
 partum period. Current evidence reveals that pregnancy induces significant
  and enduring changes in the human brain. These changes appear to be linke
 d to fluctuations in sex steroids and may play a crucial role in facilitat
 ing the maternal transition.\n\nAgenda:\n\n9-9:45 am PDT: Speaker presenta
