It sounds like you also occasionally play video games. matched

ReThinking · Dad brain with neuroscientist Darby Saxbe · 16 Jun 2026 podcast

Hey everyone, it's Adam Grant. matched

Welcome back to Rethinking, my podcast with Ted on the science of what makes us tick. matched

I'm an organizational psychologist, and I'm taking you inside the minds of fascinating people to explore new thoughts and new ways of thinking. matched

Darby Saxby is a clinical psychologist and neuroscientist at USC. matched

Her specialty is parenting, specifically dads, and how their brains react and change when they welcome a child into their lives. matched

Darby unpacks her groundbreaking research in her new book, Dad Brain, which focuses on the biological, psychological, and social transformations men undergo when they become fathers. matched

It turns out their brains change in similar, if less intense, ways as new moms' brains. matched

But for men, it's less triggered by immediate biological shifts and more determined by their own behavior. matched

In today's conversation, Darby and I talk about what these changes mean for parents and their children. matched

I thought the title of your book it was so interesting in that matched

Bombrain is a derogatory term. matched

And I cringe every time I I hear someone say mom brain as if they've gotten more forgetful or dumber. matched

And matched

Dad brain kind of on its face sounds like a similarly derogatory term. matched

But I don't think you mean it that way. matched

The idea that men's brains change when they become fathers, I think is novel for a lot of us. matched

What got you interested in this and how does it work? matched

Are you saying they have to invest in care to experience brain changes? matched

The mere fact of knowing that they've welcomed a child is not enough. matched
