abstract = {Restless legs syndrome (RLS) in pregnancy is a common
disorder with a multifactorial etiology. A neurological and
obstetrical cohort of 308 postpartum women was screened for
RLS within 1 to 6 days of childbirth and 12 weeks
postpartum. Of the 308 young mothers, 57 (prevalence rate
$19\%)$ were identified as having been affected by RLS
symptoms in the recently completed pregnancy. Structural and
functional MRI was obtained from 25 of these 57
participants. A multivariate two-window algorithm was
employed to systematically chart the relationship between
brain structures and phenotypical predictors of RLS. A
decreased volume of the parietal, orbitofrontal and frontal
areas shortly after delivery was found to be linked to
persistent RLS symptoms up to 12 weeks postpartum, the
symptoms' severity and intensity in the most recent
pregnancy, and a history of RLS in previous pregnancies. The
same negative relationship was observed between brain volume
and not being married, not receiving any iron supplement and
higher numbers of stressful life events. High cortisol
levels, being married and receiving iron supplements, on the
other hand, were found to be associated with increased
volumes in the bilateral striatum. Investigating RLS
symptoms in pregnancy within a brain-phenotype framework may
help shed light on the heterogeneity of the condition.},
