Journal ArticleDOI
Trajectories of brain development: point of vulnerability or window of opportunity?
TL;DR: This review endeavors to provide an overview of key components of mammalian brain development while simultaneously providing a framework for how perturbations during these changes uniquely impinge on the final outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Martin H. Teicher,Susan L. Andersen,Susan L. Andersen,Ann Polcari,Carl M. Anderson,Carl M. Anderson,Carryl P. Navalta,Carryl P. Navalta,Dennis M. Kim,Dennis M. Kim +9 more
TL;DR: The neurobiological sequelae of early stress and maltreatment may play a significant role in the emergence of psychiatric disorders during development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress, sensitive periods and maturational events in adolescent depression.
TL;DR: An overview of how the maturation of specific brain regions and stress exposure during windows of vulnerability initiate a series of events that render adolescents exceptionally susceptible to the development of depression is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary Evidence for Sensitive Periods in the Effect of Childhood Sexual Abuse on Regional Brain Development
Susan L. Andersen,Akemi Tomada,Evelyn S. Vincow,Elizabeth Valente,Ann Polcari,Martin H. Teicher +5 more
TL;DR: Volumetric MRI scans from 26 women with repeated episodes of childhood sexual abuse and healthy female comparison subjects were analyzed for sensitive period effects on hippocampal and amygdala volume, frontal cortex gray matter volume and corpus callosum area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental neurobiology of childhood stress and trauma
Martin H. Teicher,Susan L. Andersen,Susan L. Andersen,Ann Polcari,Carl M. Anderson,Carl M. Anderson,Carryl P. Navalta,Carryl P. Navalta +7 more
TL;DR: These alterations provide the neurobiological framework through which early abuse increases the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity, borderline personality disorder, dissociative identity disorder, and substance abuse.
