But only now are we learning how profoundly fatherhood changes men's brains and biology - and the effects these changes have on their health, skills, relationships and sense of purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDad Brain\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the world's leading researchers of fatherhood, Darby Saxbe, provides a captivating account of this new science, packed with insights into how different approaches to fatherhood affect not only men but the whole family. Among its many revelations are that:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fathers' brains shrink and their testosterone drops\u003cbr\u003e Fathers undergo a host of hormonal changes once thought only to affect women\u003cbr\u003e Fathers can suffer post-partum depression but enjoy better long-term health\u003cbr\u003e Fathers' style of play makes their kids more resilient\u003cbr\u003e Dads who do more housework are generally happier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbove all, \u003ci\u003eDad Brain\u003c\/i\u003e shows that men are wired to participate in care just as women are, but that many of these adaptations only come online when fathers invest time into parenthood: the more they do, the more they change for the better.
