Summary of emotion processing-related functional connectivity results following childhood poverty, maltreatment, and institutional care.

ELS Type Reference N Finding
Poverty (Javanbakht et al., 2015) 52 Lower income-to-needs ratio is associated with diminished amygdala – PFC connectivity
(Kim et al., 2013) 49 Lower income-to-needs ratio is associated with diminished amygdala – PFC connectivity
Maltreatment (Herringa et al., 2013) 64 Maltreated individuals display lower amygdala- and hippocampus – PFC connectivity
(Kaiser et al., 2018) 70 Maltreated individuals display lower amygdala – PFC connectivity
(Thomason et al., 2015) 42 Maltreated adolescents do not display negative amygdala – subgenual ACC connectivity found in comparison youth
(Demers et al., 2018) 80 Stronger amygdala – PFC connectivity predicts more adaptive functioning regardless of maltreatment history
Institutional Care (Gee, Gabard-Durnam, et al., 2013) 89 More mature negative amygdala -mPFC coupling present in previously institutionalized children and adolescents during emotion-matching
(Silvers et al., 2016) 89 Significant amygdala- and hippocampus – PFC connectivity during aversive learning in post-institutionalized youth only amygdala – PFC connectivity in comparison group
