Childbirth seems to invest women with a sharper, improved memory. Mothers performed better in tests regarding the ability to perceive and remember information about their surroundings compared with those who didn’t have children.
The belief that women experience a decline in memory and cognitive function after they have children. “You don’t have to feel that because you have kids, your memory isn’t the same. Previous studies on the topic have had mixed results: some showed motherhood hurts cognition, and others showed the opposite. In pregnancy, many physiological changes happen to the body, and previous research has suggested the brain even shrinks up to five percent.
It returns to its normal size six months after childbirth, and during this time of re-growth, the brain may re-map itself in a way that is responsible for the memory changes seen . Allergies may be linked to lower risk of brain tumors known as gliomas, especially among women. It also bolsters scientists’ belief that something about having allergies or a related factor lowers the risk for this cancer, which can potentially suppress the immune system and allow tumours to grow.
A brain glioma causes headaches, nausea and vomiting. “This is our most important finding. It could be that in allergic people, higher levels of circulating antibodies may stimulate the immune system, and that could lower the risk of glioma.Absence of allergy is the strongest risk factor identified so far for this brain tumor, and there is still more to understand about how this association works.
