Importance Defining basic psychosocial resources to facilitate thriving in the first year of life could tangibly inform policy and enhance child development worldwide. Objective To determine if key environmental supports measured as a thrive factor (T-factor) positively impact brain, cognitive, socioemotional outcomes through age 3. Design, Setting, Participants This prospective longitudinal cohort study took place at Midwestern academic medical center from 2017 2022. included singleton...
Psychosocial acceleration theory and other frameworks adapted from life history predict a link between early stress accelerated maturation in several physiological systems. Those findings led researchers to suggest that the emotion-regulatory brain circuits of previously-institutionalized (PI) youth are more mature than raised their biological families (non-adopted, or NA, youth) during emotion tasks. Whether this is evident resting-state fMRI has not yet been established. Resting-state data...
Identifying neuroimaging risk markers for depression has been an elusive goal in psychopathology research. Despite this, smaller hippocampal volume emerged as a potential marker depression, with recent research suggesting this association is moderated by family income. The current pre-registered study aimed to replicate and extend these findings examining the moderating role of income three dimensions environmental experience on link between hippocampus later depression. Data were drawn from...
Recent research has suggested that the pubertal period provides an opportunity for recalibrating stress-responsive systems in youth whose responses to stress have been altered by early adversity. Such recalibration may cascading effects affect brain and behavioral development. In this article, we consider a large, cross-species literature demonstrate potential importance of understanding development psychopathology following deprivation caregivers. We review evidence...
The variation in experiences between high and low-socioeconomic status contexts are posited to play a crucial role shaping the developing brain may explain differences child outcomes. Yet, examinations of SES development have largely been limited distal proxies these (e.g., income comparisons). current study sought disentangle effects multiple socioeconomic indices dimensions more proximal on resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) sample 7834 youth (aged 9-10 years) from Adolescent...
Recent research has reported effects of socioeconomic status on neurobehavioral development as early infancy, including positive associations between income and brain structure, functional connectivity, behavior later in childhood (Ramphal, Whalen, et al., 2020; Triplett 2022). This study extends this literature by investigating the relation maternal prenatal social disadvantage (PSD) to neonatal amygdala hippocampus connectivity whether socioeconomic-related alterations subsequently predict...
It has been well established that socioeconomic status is associated with mental and physical health as brain development, emerging data suggesting these relationships begin in utero. However, less known about how prenatal environments interact the gestational environment to affect neonatal volume. Maternal cortisol output measured at each trimester of pregnancy structure were assessed 241 mother-infant dyads. We examined associations between trajectory maternal across volumes receptor–rich...
Understanding individual differences in neural responses to stressful environments is an important avenue of research throughout development. These may be especially critical during adolescence, which characterized by opportunities for healthy development and increased susceptibility the psychopathology. While correlates psychosocial stress response have been investigated adults, these links not explored Using a new task, Minnesota Imaging Stress Test Children (MISTiC), activation are found...
Abstract Adverse experiences and family income in childhood have been associated with altered brain development. While there is a large body of research examining these associations, it has primarily used cross‐sectional data sources studied adverse isolation. However, possible that low represent dissociable potentially interacting profiles risk. To address this gap the literature, we examined structure as function 158 youths up to five waves MRI data. Specifically, assessed interactive...
Childhood exposure to social disadvantage is a major risk factor for psychiatric disorders and poor developmental, educational, occupational outcomes, presumably because adverse exposures alter the neurodevelopmental processes that contribute trajectories. Yet, given limited mobility in United States other countries, childhood frequently preceded by maternal during pregnancy, potentially altering fetal brain development period of high neuroplasticity through hormonal, microbiome, epigenetic,...
