Parenting Rewires the Male Brain 291
sciencehabit writes: "Cultures around the world have long assumed that women are hardwired to be mothers. But a new study (abstract) suggests that caring for children awakens a parenting network in the brain—even turning on some of the same circuits in men as it does in women. The research implies that the neural underpinnings of the so-called maternal instinct aren't unique to women, or activated solely by hormones, but can be developed by anyone who chooses to be a parent."

Good lord. I need more coffee to read this. There should be a limit on both the number of parenthesis allowed and the length of parenthetical tangents within.
