Abstract The current study used functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate whether and how individual differences in positive social engagement among 5‐month‐old (N = 109; N = 35 final sample) infants relate to variability in functional connectivity in the human brain's Default‐Mode Network (DMN). Neuroimaging results showed that on average infants displayed greater functional...
Abstract This study investigates the early neural and temperament precursors to internalizing psychopathology. Increased default mode network (DMN) functional connectivity and decreased frontoparietal network (FPN) connectivity are established neural signatures of internalizing disorders in adults, but it is unknown if these patterns represent early-emerging vulnerability. In a community sample...
