Amygdala responses to threat in violence-exposed children depend on trauma context and maternal caregiving / Jennifer S. STEVENS in Development and Psychopathology, 35-3 (August 2023)

Titre : Amygdala responses to threat in violence-exposed children depend on trauma context and maternal caregiving Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer S. STEVENS, Auteur ; Sanne J. H. VAN ROOIJ, Auteur ; Anais F. STENSON, Auteur ; Timothy D. ELY, Auteur ; Abigail POWERS, Auteur ; Aimee CLIFFORD, Auteur ; Ye Ji KIM, Auteur ; Rebecca HINRICHS, Auteur ; Nim TOTTENHAM, Auteur ; Tanja JOVANOVIC, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1159-1170 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : amygdala habituation maternal buffering resilience violence exposure Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Early life adversity (ELA) has been linked with increased arousal responses to threat, including increased amygdala reactivity. Effects of ELA on brain function are well recognized, and emerging evidence suggests that caregivers may influence how environmental stressors impact children s brain function. We investigated the hypothesis that positive interaction between mother and child can buffer against ELA effects on children s neural responses to threat, and related symptoms. N = 53 mother-child pairs (children ages 8-14 years) were recruited from an urban population at high risk for violence exposure. Maternal caregiving was measured using the Parenting Questionnaire and in a cooperation challenge task. Children viewed fearful and neutral face stimuli during functional magnetic resonance imaging. Children who experienced greater violence at home showed amygdala sensitization, whereas children experiencing more school and community violence showed amygdala habituation. Sensitization was in turn linked with externalizing symptoms. However, maternal warmth was associated with a normalization of amygdala sensitization in children, and fewer externalizing behaviors prospectively up to 1 year later. Findings suggested that the effects of violence exposure on threat-related neural circuitry depend on trauma context (inside or outside the home) and that primary caregivers can increase resilience.

MINTON, Auteur ; Charis WILTSHIRE, Auteur ; Ye Ji KIM, Auteur ; Rebecca HINRICHS, Auteur ; Tanja JOVANOVIC, Auteur ; Jennifer S. STEVENS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2126-2137 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Childhood trauma Emotional episodic memory early life adversity fMRI ventral visual cortex Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Similar to adults with posttraumatic stress disorder, children with early life adversity show bias in memory for negative emotional stimuli. However, it is not well understood how childhood adversity impacts mechanisms underlying emotional memory. N = 56 children (8-14 years, 48% female) reported on adverse experiences including potentially traumatic events and underwent fMRI while attending to emotionally pleasant, neutral, or negative images. Post-scan, participants completed a cued recall test to assess memory for these images. Emotional difference-in-memory (DM) scores were computed by subtracting negative or positive from neutral recall performance. All children showed enhancing effects of emotion on recall, with no effect of trauma load. However, children with less trauma showed a larger emotional DM for both positive and negative stimuli when amygdala or anterior hippocampal activity was higher. In contrast, highly trauma-exposed children demonstrated a lower emotional DM with greater amygdala or hippocampal activity. This suggested that alternative neural mechanisms might support emotional enhancement of encoding in children with greater trauma load. Whole-brain analyses revealed that right fusiform activity during encoding positively correlated with both trauma load and successful later recall of positive images. Therefore, highly trauma-exposed children may use alternative, potentially adaptive neural pathways via the ventral visual stream to encode positive emotional events.
