During this Lunch Talk, Dr. Elseline Hoekzema, Milou Straathof and Sophie van ’t Hof will take us through different stages of the female brain, exploring how pregnancy affects the brain, what happens during a second pregnancy, and how brain changes compare across puberty, pregnancy and menopause.

Join us for an opportunity to discover fascinating research, ask questions and engage with the researchers behind these discoveries!
