Are Dads Wired Differently – The Truth About Becoming A Dad

Dr Pascal Vrticka is very happy to share his most recent blog post for Dadvengers: Are Dads Wired Differently – The Truth About Becoming A Dad. Many thanks for giving me the unique opportunity to write about this very important and timely issue.

In Dr Vrticka’s blog post, he describes the most recent social neuroscience research on human fatherhood and what it means for society. He explains that until quite recently, men were seen as being wired differently, as not being biologically born to be parents. New findings – also from his SoNeAt Lab -, however, show that there is no “mum brain” or “dad brain”, that there only is the “caregiving brain”. Nevertheless, there is one additional factor that outshines everything else: practice. Because dads are made, not born. All men have what it takes to become involved, confident and caring fathers. If they are just given the opportunity to do so.
