Changes in the brain of women during a second pregnancyA second pregnancy changes women's brains in the same way as a first pregnancy, but in a different way than the first time. This is according to researchers from Amsterdam UMC, published in the scientific journal Nature Communications. The findings of Elseline Hoekzema and her colleagues show that a second pregnancy uniquely changes a woman’s brain, entailing both convergent and distinct neural transformations.
A day of dynamics, networks, and neuroscience bridges the gap between mathematical theory and clinical practiceOn Friday, February 13, 2026, the Dutch Network Science Society (NetSci NL) came together with researchers from the Systems & Network Neuroscience program of Amsterdam Neuroscience, the Amsterdam Center for Dynamics and Computation, and the MSCA Doctoral Network BeyondTheEdge to explore dynamics, network science, and its translation to neuroscience.
Researchers visualise the dynamics of myelin swellingsAn international research team of Amsterdam UMC, VU LaserLab, the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, and the University of Edinburgh has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings are considered the precursor of lesions in the brain of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The results have been recently published in the leading magazine Science.
