Association of perceived maternal stress during the perinatal period with electroencephalography patterns in 2-month-old infants
JAMA Pediatrics Jun 09, 2019
Pierce LJ, et al. - In this cohort study of electroencephalographic data from 70 infants aged 2 months, researchers investigated whether maternal stress reports are correlated with trends in resting electroencephalography at age 2 and whether unique electroencephalographic profiles connected with risk and resiliency factors can be identified. After adjusting for covariates, maternal educational level was significantly and positively linked to power in high α, β, and γ bands. These results indicate that unique contributions to infant neurodevelopment of caregiver stress and maternal education are detectable at 2 months. Electroencephalography could be a promising instrument for identifying children most vulnerable to parental stress and revealing mechanisms connected with adversity by neurodevelopment. Before use at the individual level in clinical settings, additional studies validating subgroups across larger cohorts with different stressors and ages are needed.
