Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results lend empirical support for the validity and reliability of this set of facial expressions as determined by accurate identification of expressions and high intra-participant agreement across two testing sessions, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Imaging the developing brain: what have we learned about cognitive development?
TL;DR: The findings suggest that cortical function becomes fine-tuned with development, followed by association areas involved in top-down control of behavior in brain regions associated with more basic functions mature first.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological substrates of emotional reactivity and regulation in adolescence during an emotional go-nogo task.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that exaggerated emotional reactivity during adolescence might increase the need for top-down control and put individuals with less control at greater risk for poor outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolonged institutional rearing is associated with atypically large amygdala volume and difficulties in emotion regulation.
Nim Tottenham,Todd A. Hare,Brian T. Quinn,Thomas McCarry,Marcella Nurse,Tara Gilhooly,Alexander J. Millner,Adriana Galván,Matthew C. Davidson,Inge-Marie Eigsti,Kathleen M. Thomas,Peter J. Freed,Elizabeth S. Booma,Megan R. Gunnar,Margaret Altemus,Jane Aronson,B. J. Casey +16 more
TL;DR: The findings are consistent with previous reports describing negative effects of prolonged orphanage care on emotional behavior and with animal models that show long-term changes in the amygdala and emotional behavior following early postnatal stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early developmental emergence of human amygdala-prefrontal connectivity after maternal deprivation.
Dylan G. Gee,Laurel J. Gabard-Durnam,Jessica Flannery,Bonnie Goff,Kathryn L. Humphreys,Eva H. Telzer,Todd A. Hare,Susan Y. Bookheimer,Nim Tottenham +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, as in the rodent, children who experienced early maternal deprivation exhibit early emergence of mature amygdala–prefrontal connectivity, suggesting that accelerated amygdala–mPFC development is an ontogenetic adaptation in response to early adversity.
