  • Fetal Cortisol Exposure and Offspring Socioemotional Development

    Open AccessElla‐Marie P Hennessey, Danielle A Swales et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2026References: 100

    Glucocorticoids are a commonly proposed pathway through which offspring socioemotional development is shaped by the prenatal environment. However, studies have primarily assessed fetal cortisol exposure indirectly. We examine whether neonatal hair cortisol concentrations, an index of fetal cortisol exposure during the third trimester, are associated with early markers of offspring socioemotional development (negative affectivity and attention to …

  • Neonatal Hair Cortisol and Birth Outcomes

    LillyBelle K Deer, Catherine Demers et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2024

    OBJECTIVE: Prenatal stress physiology is often posited as a predictor of birth outcomes, including gestational age at birth and birthweight. However, research has predominantly relied on indicators in the maternal system, with few studies examining hormones of the fetal system. The current study focuses on fetal cortisol in the third trimester, as measured in neonatal hair, as a biological factor that might be associated with birth outcomes (gest…

  • Temporal relation between pubertal development and peer victimization in a prospective sample of US adolescents

    Open AccessJessica A Marino, Elysia Poggi Davis et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2024References: 55

    Peer victimization typically peaks in early adolescence, leading researchers to hypothesize that pubertal timing is a meaningful predictor of peer victimization. However, previous methodological approaches have limited our ability to parse out which puberty cues are associated with peer victimization because gonadal and adrenal puberty, two independent processes, have either been conflated or adrenal puberty timing has been ignored. In addition, …

  • Biological and behavioral pathways from prenatal depression to offspring cardiometabolic risk

    Open AccessJenalee R Doom, LillyBelle K Deer et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024

    Given prior literature focused on the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease framework, there is strong rationale to hypothesize that reducing depression in the prenatal period will cause improvements in offspring cardiometabolic health. The current review outlines evidence that prenatal depression is associated with offspring cardiometabolic risk and health behaviors. We review evidence of these associations in humans and in nonhuman animal…

  • Discrimination and adverse birth outcomes among Latina women

    Open AccessSabrina R Liu, Kimberly D'Anna‐Hernandez et al.ARTICLECultural Diversity & Ethnic…2023Cited by: 1

    Findings implicate discrimination as an important risk factor for adverse birth outcomes among women of Latina/Hispanic descent. Further policies, practice, and research on reducing discrimination and enhancing factors that promote resilience such as social support are needed to facilitate healthy births among Latina/Hispanic women, mitigate intergenerational harm of discrimination-related stress, and advance health equity at birth and across the…

  • Prenatal Maternal Stress, Child Cortical Thickness, and Adolescent Depressive Symptoms

    Open AccessElysia Poggi Davis, Benjamin L Hankin et al.ARTICLEChild Development2020

    Prenatal maternal stress predicts subsequent elevations in youth depressive symptoms, but the neural processes associated with these links are unclear. This study evaluated whether prenatal maternal stress is associated with child brain development, and adolescent depressive symptoms using a prospective design with 74 mother child pairs (40 boys). Maternal stress was assessed during pregnancy, child cortical thickness at age 7, and depressive sym…

  • Prenatal Maternal Anxiety and Depression Predict Negative Behavioral Reactivity in Infancy

    Open AccessElysia Poggi Davis, Nancy Snidman et al.ARTICLEInfancy2004

    The effects of maternal antenatal and postnatal anxiety and depression on infant negative behavioral reactivity were examined in a sample of 22 mother‐infant pairs. Maternal anxiety and depression were assessed by standardized measures during the third trimester of pregnancy and postpartum. Infant negative behavioral responses to novelty were assessed using a previously validated measure at 4 months of age. Maternal anxiety and depression during …
