Alterations in adolescent dopaminergic systems as a function of early mother‐toddler attachment: A prospective longitudinal examination

Early experiences have the potential for outsized influence on neural development across a wide number of domains. In humans, many of the most important such experiences take place in the context of the mother‐child attachment relationship. Work from animal models has highlighted neural changes in dopaminergic systems as a function of early care experiences, but translational research in humans has been limited. Our goal was to fill this gap by...
