The presence of maternal anxiety and depression are well-established risk factors for child internalizing psychopathology, yet the responsible mechanisms linking the two remain unclear. Methods We examined the potential mediating and moderating roles of EEG frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) in the intergenerational transmission of internalizing symptoms in a longitudinal sample of N 323 mother?child dyads. Self-report maternal internalizing symptoms were evaluated at child age 3 years and 5 years, child EEG at 5 years, and parent-report child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years. Mediation was evaluated via bootstrapped (N 5,000) confidence intervals. Results We found significant associations among maternal internalizing (anxiety, depressive) symptoms when their children were ages 3 and 5 years, child FAA at age 5 years, and child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years. There was a significant mediation effect, whereby greater maternal anxiety and depressive symptoms at age 3 years were significantly associated with FAA (greater relative right cortical activation) in children at age 5 years, which, in turn, was significantly associated with greater child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years (ps < .001). There was no moderating effect of FAA on the association between maternal internalizing symptoms at age 5 years and child internalizing symptoms at age 7 years. Conclusions Greater right frontal asymmetry may be a neurophysiological mechanism that mediates the intergenerational transmission of internalizing symptoms.

Neural correlates of child temperament: The role of brain network connectivity in psychopathology risk / Wanze XIE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 67-7 (July 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 67-7 (July 2026) . - p.1203-1217 Titre : Neural correlates of child temperament: The role of brain network connectivity in psychopathology risk Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Wanze XIE, Auteur ; Yiyi WANG, Auteur ; Dashiell D. SACKS, Auteur ; Charles A. NELSON, Auteur ; Michelle BOSQUET ENLOW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1203-1217 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Temperament  developmental psychopathology  internalizing disorder  electroencephalography  neural networks Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Early temperament has been shown to predict socioemotional outcomes, but its neural correlates are not yet fully understood. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between early temperament and neuronal network functional connectivity (FC), and how these factors contribute to the risk of psychopathology. Methods Using a longitudinal cohort followed from infancy to age 7 (N?=?749 collected at infancy), we assessed temperament through two approaches: data-driven profiles extracted from parent-reported questionnaires collected from infancy to age 3 and lab-based assessments of behavioral inhibition (BI) at age 3. Symptoms of psychopathology were measured at age 7 with the parent-reported Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Resting-state EEG data collected at ages 3, 5, and 7, along with source-space connectivity methods, were used to examine FC within brain networks. Results Children with an emotionally and behaviorally dysregulated (EBD) profile, an identified risk factor for psychopathology, exhibited reduced FC in the frontoparietal network compared to their emotionally and behaviorally regulated (EBR) peers. BI at age 3 was also negatively correlated with FC in the ventral attention network at age 3 and the frontoparietal network at age 7. Additionally, frontoparietal FC moderated the relationship between early temperament and later attention-deficit symptoms: EBD children showed higher levels of attention problems than their EBR peers, but only when frontoparietal FC was low. Conclusions These findings underscore the importance of network connectivity in understanding early temperament and its socioemotional outcomes. Specifically, they highlight the role of attention and control networks in the development of psychopathology, suggesting potential targets for early interventions aimed at at-risk children.
