Scientists believe birth control pills increase the size and certain parts of women’s brains.. Improving their memory and social skills.
Researchers at Salzburg university in Austria took brain MRI’s of men, women taking the pill and women not taking the pill. The women not on contraceptives were scanned more than once to account for hormonal fluctuations that occur over the month.
They found several areas of the brains of women taking the pill were larger than the brains of those not taking the contraceptives. The growth occurred in regions that scans showed to already be larger in women compared to men, like those involved in conversation.

However, the pills appeared to have little effect on areas more dominant in men, including those associated with spatial skills such as map reading.

It is not know whether the parts of the brain that grew returned to original size once birth control pills were stopped.
