Relation between low and high maternal responsivity and reactivity of stress and emotion sensitive systems. Panel A. Cortisol responses to inoculations at 18 months in children whose mothers were low or normal to high responsive during the first 6 months of the infants lives. Adapted from Gunnar et al. (1996). Panel B. EEG asymmetry in infants of low versus high responsive mothers. Note that negative EEG asymmetry scores indicate right-biased activity associated with increased withdrawal affects, including depression. Adapted from Hane and Fox (2006).
