Saving this for when my brain recovers from the second kid. It recovers, right? Right?!

That hypo about getting the kid to a restaurant restroom gave me PTSD.

Does having multiples affect this? I ask as person who birthed surprise twins

No studies on this so far, but we need some!

Loved the 'forage' comment and the research. Best of luck with the book. And as for the PR (from a PR), you're doing the work, it'll all come to fruition and be worth it!

Thank you!! I sure hope so. Trying to enjoy the process as well as the hoped-for outcome.

Fascinating!

Do we already have the technology to know how much of the shrinkage we see on MRI is due to pruning, myelination, or something else? Or is that something still on the wishlist?

Darby Saxbe's avatar

It's likely a combination of pruning & myelination but we don't know completely for sure!

Can’t wait to find out! And as always, thank you for breaking down other people’s work in such an approachable way for the rest of us.
